About Dafni

With6 years of experiencein Software Quality, I combine solid functional expertise with a growing technical mastery of automation frameworks.

Today, I focus my activity on the transition to full automation to help product teams gain velocity and reliability. My background allows me not just to "code tests," but to design relevant test suites, based on real risk analysis and a deep understanding of the software lifecycle.

What I bring you:

Targeted Automation: Implementation of scripts using Playwright, Cypress, Robot Framework, or Selenium (Java/Python).

API Testing: Validation of your service layers via Postman (validation scripts).

DevOps Culture: Integration of tests into your CI/CD pipelines (recent training in Automation & DevOps at DataScientest).

ISTQB Rigor: Design of test strategies, management of data sets, and precise reporting.

I am actively seeking to join stimulating projects where I can contribute my confirmed QA rigor while strengthening my skills on your complex automation environments.

Immediately available for remote or hybrid assignments (large part of French territory: 2 consecutive days in person).
