😺 Hey, I'm Helena Ciorra 👋

Quality Assurance Analyst | Software Engineering Student

I'm a QA Analyst with a decade-long background in high-impact research and project management, now fully focused on test automation and software quality. My work is defined by process rigour, structured thinking, and a methodical approach across the entire Software Development Life Cycle.

I specialize in ensuring that technical execution aligns perfectly with business goals, combining professional maturity with a fast learning curve for new technologies.

While my foundation is in linguistics and international administration, I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Software Engineering with a focus on Software Quality and Testing Automation.

Remote-work advocate. Avid gamer. Fan of Japanese culture.

🔍 What I'm Focused On

  • Automation: Designing scalable test suites covering unit, API, E2E and performance layers.
  • Governance: Applying rigorous documentation standards, QA metrics and technical decision logs to reduce rework and improve traceability.
  • Real-world validation: Building data-driven tests that surface actual API behaviour, handle schema evolution, and distinguish application bugs from environment issues.

Layer Project Tech Stack Core Focus
Unit tests-unit JavaScript, Jest 44 tests for weather data utility functions with 100% code coverage enforced via threshold gate. Covers null handling, edge cases, boundary decisions and property-based thinking.
API tests-api JavaScript, Jest, Axios, Postman Contract and data integrity validation for a live weather API — including schema validation, multi-location testing, and documented real API behaviour discovered during testing.
E2E tests-e2e JavaScript, Playwright 38 tests across API contract validation and cross-browser UI testing (Chromium + Firefox), covering schema, data integrity, error handling and responsive layouts.
Performance tests-performance JavaScript, k6 Load, stress and spike scenarios that identified two distinct API protection mechanisms: TCP connection dropping under gradual stress and rate limiting (429) under sudden spikes.
Real World datasus-qa-suite Cypress, GitHub Actions Automated validation of 7 years of Brazilian National Immunization Program (PNI) public health records via the DATASUS Open Data API.
