About Loic

I am an experienced software tester & test manager with over seven years of professional experience – primarily in the banking sector – specializing in quality assurance, test automation, and agile methodologies.

What I offer:

Holistic execution of functional and regression tests — with a focus on web and app applications (iOS & Android).

Creation and adaptation of test cases based on user stories, as well as test data management and maintenance.

Implementation of automated tests with common tools/frameworks (e.g., Selenium, API tests with Postman; if needed, also with Appium/Katalon).

Defect reporting, documentation of test results, and tracking of bugs until release.

Close collaboration with developers, product owners, and stakeholders – agile, transparent, and solution-oriented.

Strategic development of test processes and co-design of best practices and quality assurance measures.

Why work with me:
Thanks to my many years of experience – including at large financial institutions – I have a precise understanding of the requirements and risks of complex applications. I bring a strong quality awareness, methodical structures, and technical know-how. At the same time, I am familiar with tools like JIRA, Confluence, TestRail, and automated testing solutions.

I am flexibly deployable (remote or onsite), communicate clearly in German and English, and am happy to tackle complex testing and automation challenges — with the goal of delivering stable, reliable, and low-defect software.
