UBT's testing methodology combines risk-based testing with shift-left principles, embedding quality validation early in the development lifecycle. By integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Docker, every code change is validated against 1,000+ automated checks before reaching production. This approach raised test coverage from 50% to 90% on the Daimler Smaragd platform and optimized test execution time by 40%, saving hundreds of engineering hours monthly.
Systematic test design and risk-based prioritization raised Daimler Smaragd coverage from 50% to 90%, targeting the most critical paths first.
CI/CD pipeline integration with Jenkins and automated regression suites cut test execution time by 40%, delivering results in minutes instead of hours.
Led migration from HP ALM to Jira/Xray, consolidating test management into a single platform and reducing manual effort across teams.
Mentored 30+ QA colleagues across Daimler and Swisslog, creating shared documentation, training materials, and onboarding guides.
