Maxime Adau

After five years working as a QA engineer and Lead QA, I decided to go freelance in 2017.

I like to automate tasks and I like the software to be working as expected. I am looking for companies ready to put time and energy to enhance their overhaul quality.

I’ll help teams improving the quality by addressing various topics. That goes from the improvement of the Use Cases definition, to the implementation of test strategy, bug hunting and communication process.

All of my experiences in many companies proved me that the communication between the dev team and the operational ones is the key factor to improve the global quality, good new is that I am a competent communicant and an organised meeting driver.

On top of improving customer satisfaction, better quality and bug reporting leads to an acceleration of deployment, ease the bug fix process, improve maintainability … it’s an overhaul virtuous spiral, and you should spend money on quality (both from a code and test point of view, re-read Clean Code from Uncle Bob if not convinced already).

In order to automate tests, I mainly use (my beloved language which I also teach) python and selenium. I am also used to Java (wrote a test automation framework using it), JavaScript (needed during front-end test development), Jenkins, git (lab|hub) and bash scripting... Tools are meant to be learned : I can adapt myself to the tool you use, won’t be my first.
