Sr. Automation QA Engineer

As a Sr. Automation QA Engineer at MOOVX, your primary responsibilities will include designing and implementing regression testing strategies for our Next.js web and mobile applications, building Playwright-based automation suites, and conducting tests for both web and mobile platforms. You will categorize and prioritize tests, define KPIs, and perform weekly regression reviews to maintain test coverage and efficiency.

To excel as a Sr. Automation QA Engineer at MOOVX, you need to have over 4 years experience in QA or Test Automation, particularly with eCommerce or user-centric applications. You'll need expert-level knowledge of Playwright, strong testing skills for React components, and a solid understanding of Next.js, including how to handle server-side rendering and API routing.

At MOOVX, Sr. Automation QA Engineers are expected to identify platform-specific and shared test cases between web and mobile applications, ensuring consistency across platforms. You’ll validate API contracts and reuse test data and fixtures across different environments to maintain a unified testing strategy.

MOOVX stands out as a great company for Sr. Automation QA Engineers due to its commitment to creating an inclusive and safe working environment. With 100% remote work options throughout LATAM, competitive salaries, and a strong focus on continuous improvement and development, MOOVX is dedicated to fostering both personal and professional growth for its employees.

Sr. Automation QA Engineers at MOOVX should have a deep understanding of Playwright for test automation, as well as experience with React Testing Library, Jest, and other testing tools. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, mocking tools, and AI testing tools will be beneficial for optimizing testing processes and maintaining effective test coverage.

In planning a regression testing strategy, I first analyze the application to identify critical user journeys and key functionalities. I would categorize the tests into different priorities (P0, P1, P2), and then develop a schedule to execute these tests. Continuous collaboration with development teams during this phase is crucial to ensure comprehensive coverage.

Flaky tests can undermine trust in the automation suite. I approach flaky tests by first analyzing failure logs to determine if they point to real issues or inconsistencies in the test environment. Collaborating with the development team, I adjust the tests or the environment accordingly. Regular reviews and using AI-driven tools can help track performance over time.

For component testing in React, I leverage Playwright’s Component Testing feature and combine it with React Testing Library to ensure components behave as expected. Writing comprehensive unit and integration tests that cover various states of components is essential, including user interactions and lifecycle methods.

To prioritize tests under tight deadlines, I focus on critical user journeys and features that carry the most risk or impact on the user experience. I categorize tests into different levels of importance and ensure that P0 tests are executed first, while also considering test efficiency and execution time.

Ensuring proper test coverage in a dynamic environment involves regularly reviewing the application's functionality and collaborating closely with the development team. I implement a test coverage analytics tool that helps monitor which areas are covered and where gaps exist, allowing us to address coverage proactively.

My experience with cross-platform testing includes building scalable test suites that run on both web and mobile platforms. I ensure that tests are structured to share fixtures and test data efficiently. I validate API contracts across platforms to maintain consistent user experience, focusing on both the mobile and web interface.

In my QA process, I track key metrics such as defect escape rates, test coverage for vital user journeys, execution efficiency, and the average time spent on debugging tests. These metrics provide insights into the quality of the product and help identify areas for improvement in the testing lifecycle.

Collaboration with developers is critical during the testing process. I regularly communicate with them to clarify requirements, discuss potential test cases, and inform them about any defects found. By rotating regression ownership and conducting joint reviews, we can foster a shared commitment to quality.

I find Playwright to be one of the most effective tools for automation testing due to its robust feature set, including cross-browser support and component testing capabilities. Additionally, tools like Jest and React Testing Library have proven essential for unit testing React applications.

Maintaining documentation is crucial for continuity and knowledge transfer. I ensure that all test cases, strategies, and results are documented in a centralized location. This includes creating clear instructions on how to run tests and any specific considerations for running scenarios, which helps onboard new team members effectively.
