I build automated tests for web applications, APIs and business processes, so you know everything still works with every release. Identity & Access Management with One Identity Manager is my specialism.
Automated regression tests for any application, with or without a web interface. Set up to be maintainable, so your team can extend them.
Testing Identity & Access Management, mainly One Identity Manager. I check that people get the right accounts and entitlements, and that these are removed again.
Tests only mean something when the environment resembles production. I set up those environments and the tools around them.
Checking that software does what the requirements and specifications describe, and reporting on it clearly.
Applications
Robot Framework is not just for IAM. With the same approach I test web applications, integrations and processes that have no screens at all.
Tests that use the application in the browser the way a user does: logging in, filling in forms, going through workflows and checking what appears on screen.
Testing services and chains without a user interface. Is the response right, does error handling work, and does the data arrive correctly in the next system?
Checking what happens under the hood: batch processing, data transformations and the data itself, directly in the database.
Examples outside IAM: at Buma/Stemra I automated the regression tests for new, externally developed applications with Robot Framework and Katalon Studio. At Ziggo I tested back-end systems and customer portals, with a lot of work on SOAP and REST APIs. See my portfolio.
Approach
A fixed approach in four steps. How long each step takes depends on your environment.
Getting to know your systems, requirements and test goals. Where are the risks?
A test strategy that fits those risks: what to automate and what to test by hand.
Building tests and running them systematically, with recorded results.
Clear findings and concrete recommendations for the team and management.
Also
Alongside the testing work I build websites, a macOS app and games. You can find those projects on separate pages.
Whether it is a web application, an API or your IAM environment: tell me briefly what you are running into. You will get a reply within two working days.
