    BANKING AND INSURANCE
    January 2020 - May 2024 (4 years and 4 months)

    Client: Allianz Trade (Global leader in credit insurance)


    Context:For 4 years, I worked as a QA Lead within an international Scrum team (English), driving the strategy and execution of manual tests on a complex application. Facing a fast-paced deployment rhythm, I led the transition to test automation over the last 18 months, improving deliverable reliability and accelerating team velocity.

    Automation & Continuous Improvement
    I designed and implemented a complete End-to-End automated testing architecture for the Mendix application using TestProject. This initiative significantly reduced validation times and increased delivery reliability.

    I structured the test governance by validating each automated scenario with the client before execution. Results, indicators, and statistics were then centralized and tracked in Xray (Jira) to ensure perfect traceability.

    QA Supervision & Test Strategy
    I defined comprehensive test plans, from design to execution, and established a clear test case management strategy to support each key functional release.

    Data Validation & Integrity
    I performed complex data validations using SQL (PostgreSQL), verifying the consistency and integrity of results dynamically generated by the application.

    Defect Management & Agile Piloting
    From identification to resolution, I managed the complete defect lifecycle within an Agile (Scrum) environment, ensuring smooth communication between QA, development, and business teams.

    Impacts:
    ✓ Traceability: 100% of automated tests documented and tracked in Xray,
    ✓ Client Satisfaction: Notable improvement in business confidence due to QA process transparency and systematic scenario validation.
