My Test Automation Portfolio Series: Unravel the maze with me

Published on April 10, 2025

If you are a QA who reads blogs, I bet you have come across a large number of test automation portfolio articles and proof of concepts written by our peers from the QA community. I have to admit I came across many and not just that — I tried to start working on it a couple of years back. I somehow couldn’t continue and reach my target line due to balance of time between work, kids and what not… Long story short, I am going to make a fresh start…. I am very keen to write about this and engage with fellow QA peers through my articles. This way I get to widen my knowledge through constructive feedback from readers, strengthen my engagement with likeminded professionals and lastly a little bit of flaunting on your CV is not a crime :)

Strategy : A plan in place

I am planning to showcase the tools I am currently comfortable to start working on instantly. This way I can gain the initial momentum and confidence to start the long journey. Speaking of journey, this portfolio series will be a slow, meaningful and long journey for me. I am going to take this in an enjoyable pace and write all about the intricacies I learn during this journey. This way I can be of some help to my fellow peers who are in the same situation as me.

A humble invite : World is my Oyster

Through this article, I would like to invite my QA connections to follow my publication to walk with me through my test automation portfolio journey. I am looking to start on the below frameworks in order of priority and will be adding to it gradually.

  1. Cypress Javascript on its own
  2. Cypress with BDD integration
  3. Postman with GitHub integration
  4. Playwright with Typescript
  5. Selenium Java BDD

Thanks in advance for following my stories. Looking forward to engage with you all soon..
