IdeaLetha Limited

Director

Associate iOS Engineer

I create and maintain automated UI tests for ASOS's award-winning, 5-star iOS app. Test automation is written in Swift, using XCTest and OHHTTPStubs with the page object model.

Driving improvement of team process and development practices, standing up for the user in the face of poor experience and pushing for best-in-class feature implementation is a natural part of what I do.

Mentoring other members of the ever-growing QA team within the mobile team and around other areas of the business is a large part of my role. I do my best to ensure that my associate and graduate colleagues are able to dedicate time to learning and researching by themselves, attending enrichment events and working with others. This allows them to gain exposure to other technologies and people alongside their work as part of a specialised team.

I do my best to drive positive change in the organisation where possible. To this end, I am a regular contributor to the planning and execution of 'QA Community' events within ASOS and am an active member of the 'Space Lovers' group, where I get the opportunity to represent the views of my colleagues with regard to the planning and execution of a long-term plan to refurbish ASOS HQ.

Senior Mobile QA Engineer

Created an automated UI testing framework using XCTest in Swift, using the page object model and an adaptation of the red-green-refactor method.

Refactored and maintained a legacy UI testing framework using Appium with Python. Implemented a code review & pull request process for changes to test code.

Mobile QA Engineer

Responsible for the creation and maintenance of automated tests for the blinkbox Movies iOS application, using Calabash and Cucumber with the Page Object Model.

Working in a BDD environment, using '3 Amigos'​ meetings to specify requirements in Gherkin before beginning automation and feature development.

Actively contributing to peer development and knowledge sharing day-to-day and through hosting and participation in weekly 'brown bag' sessions; engaging workshops focusing on a variety of topics such as TDD, BDD, learning a programming language or exploring frameworks.

I participated in One Voice, the employee representative programme, to promote and facilitate better communication between the business and its employees during a transitional period where ownership of the business transferred from Tesco to TalkTalk. I provided an open channel of support to colleagues, and fairly represent the views of employees throughout the company.
