I'm Zoe Xu, a senior software QA with 16+ years of experience in manual and automation testing. I'm curious about technology, passionate about testing, and driven by delivering high-quality products. I own end-to-end testing across STLC in fast-paced agile environments, from test strategy to release sign-off, and I integrate testing with SDLC. I have hands-on experience with front-end UI, back-end API, and data layer validation using regression, integration, performance, and exploratory approaches. I program in Python and JavaScript to build scalable test frameworks and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines. I'm an independent problem-solver and collaborative team player who embraces AI-assisted tools to boost testing efficiency.
