QA Automation Engineer in Braga, Portugal

Paulo Roberto Rogerio

I turn product risk into clear release signal: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, TypeScript, Java, Python, Rest Assured, Postman, SQL, Cucumber/BDD, Jira, Xray, Allure and evidence-first QA.

Manual tester at the roots, automation-minded in the daily work, and curious enough to bring a creative AI motion eye into short-form cinematic experiments.

How I think about quality

From Requirement To Signal

The goal is not simply more tests. The goal is cleaner feedback: fast enough for developers, deep enough for product confidence and readable enough for release decisions.

1

Analyze

Requirements, edge cases, risk, acceptance criteria and testability.

2

Automate

Stable BDD flows, API checks, SQL validation notes and focused regression layers.

3

Validate

Evidence, reports, screenshots, traces, response checks and clear failure analysis.

4

Improve

Refactor suites, remove noise and document repeatable patterns.

Manual testing with public evidence

Evidence That A Team Can Actually Use

Manual QA still matters. I document expected behavior, actual behavior, environment, impact, reproduction path, attachments, root-cause hints and retest notes so a defect becomes easier to understand, prioritize and fix.

Scenario

Public checkout smoke

Given/when/then coverage for a fictional storefront journey with clear release value.

Defect

Actionable bug report

Severity, priority, steps, expected result, actual result and retest outcome.

Risk

Regression focus

Business-critical paths, integrations, data validation and historical failure zones.

AI motion and creative direction

QA Mindset, Cinematic Timing

I also create AI animation: original characters, short cinematic scenes, prompt direction, consistency checks, timing, lighting and final presentation polish.

Original child-friendly 3D character sheet with front, side, back and expression views.
Character sheet: expression, silhouette and consistency checks.

Five-second scene craft

Character mood, camera beat, lighting cue, motion intent and export checks, treated with the same iteration discipline I use in QA.
