- Implemented an automation OOP infrastructure for the endurance team from scratch, built on Python to perform Pytest tests for on-premises, web, and mobile tests.
- The infrastructure, included a set of high-skilled Bash scripts, provided a provisioning step to prepare the test environment. The environment was built from several VM machines that were fully managed in the vSphere platform by the endurance team. As a part of this process, I also applied my Linux administration skills to configure and maintain the VMs and the underlying operating systems.
- Connected between the test environment and the test running, which was based on Docker. The Docker runner provided a Selenium Grid and mobile emulation.
