Available to hire
I’m Souleymane Bodian, a QA Automation Engineer/QA Test Lead with 10 years of experience delivering reliable software quality in international environments. I focus on test analysis, designing effective test strategies, and automating end-to-end (E2E) validation to ensure both functional and technical coverage across complex application ecosystems.
My background spans the full validation lifecycle, from turning requirements into traceable test cases and acceptance criteria to managing defects and reporting with tools like Tricentis Tosca, qTest, Xray, and Jira. I also enjoy collaborating closely with product owners and Scrum teams, mentoring colleagues, and continuously improving testing processes through structured methodologies (Agile/Scrum, SAFe, and V-Model) and CI/CD-driven execution.
