Quality Assurance Specialist of nearly 4 years. Constantly learning new technologies and techniques to aid in my continued growth. Currently those new technologies are WebdriverIO and Appium to establish automated testing for an application in development at work. Additionally, to better understand how to test different front ends than I am accustomed to, I am learning React in my free time. Have experience with both Selenium WebDriver and Playwright in automating primarily simple tests to act as a first check before deeper manual testing.Manual testing is where my ability to think about the interface, the expected values, the intention of the page or form in question, as well as how the backend handles this really shines. I often find myself digging through the git diff and seeing what was changed, what was added, and giving myself a better idea of how to break the application by otherwise not so obvious means. While not currently to the level where I could say it is white box testing, this deeper learning and analysis of the inner workings of what causes the breaks has me much more excited to learn more. I learned Java just to dig deeper and find more bugs otherwise hidden in plain sight of the developers. I don't know how else to put it besides finding the non obvious bugs laying in an otherwise functional application makes me happy. To stumble on incorrect validation, or a button that can be spammed that continually submits requests that are not server throttled is nice, however, to stumble on issues with authorization or with unprotected routes that can be exploited with custom post requests or anything similar to this is extremely satisfying.Bugs are the best kinds of puzzles, and each one makes you want to do or find one slightly more complicated than the last.
