Test Suite, Owned

Led the Java + Selenium API test suite at DVSA — planning sessions, progress catch-ups, and support for juniors on apprenticeship routes.

Problem

API confidence was uneven. Without a owned suite and a rhythm around it, regressions slipped through and juniors lacked a clear path to contribute to quality.

System

Led development of the Java Selenium API test suite, organised planning and catch-up sessions to track progress, and paired that with Jest/JUnit coverage and Jenkins CI/CD so checks ran on every change. Supported junior members through apprenticeship training while modelling how to review and ship carefully.

Outcome

A test practice the team could run, not just admire. Deployment risk dropped, juniors grew faster, and “done” meant proven — not merely merged.
