Yellowbeard - Coffee Business Automation Platform
All-in-one platform that helps coffee companies streamline service, sales, and operations through automation and real-time data.
Manual and Automation QA Engineer
OVERVIEW
As a Manual and Automation QA Engineer, I was involved in ensuring product quality and reliability for Yellowbeard, an all-in-one platform that helps coffee companies streamline service, sales, and operations through automation and real-time data.
TECH STACK
THE CHALLENGE
Coffee companies needed a unified platform to manage service, sales, and operations with real-time data synchronization and automation capabilities.
METHODOLOGY
Designed and executed manual and automated test scenarios to verify system workflows and data-driven processes. Performed API, regression, and performance testing to maintain seamless integration across modules.
TEST STRATEGY
Collaborated closely with developers and product teams to identify and resolve defects early in the release cycle. Validated real-time data synchronization and automation logic to enhance platform efficiency.
AUTOMATION PIPELINE
Integrated automated tests with Jenkins for continuous testing. Set up regression test suites to run on each deployment to ensure seamless updates across sales, operations, and analytics modules.
IMPACT METRICS
Manual vs Automated Testing
Traditional manual testing approach with testers executing test cases one by one, documenting results in spreadsheets, and spending significant time on repetitive regression tests.
Fully automated test suite using Selenium WebDriver with parallel execution, integrated with CI/CD pipeline for continuous testing on every commit.
Execution Time
90%Test Coverage
104%Bugs Found
133%Cost per Cycle
94%Release Cycle Optimization
Monthly release cycle with manual deployments, requiring weekend maintenance windows and extensive manual verification.
Continuous deployment pipeline with automated testing gates, blue-green deployments, and instant rollback capabilities.

Selenium Test for Order Flow
Automated test for validating coffee order workflow with data synchronization.
@Test
public void testCoffeeOrderWorkflow() {
LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage(driver);
loginPage.login("manager@yellowbeard.com", "password");
OrderPage orderPage = new OrderPage(driver);
orderPage.navigateToOrders();
orderPage.createNewOrder("Espresso", 2, "Large");
Assert.assertTrue(orderPage.isOrderCreated(), "Order should be created successfully");
Assert.assertTrue(orderPage.isDataSynced(), "Data should be synchronized in real-time");
}MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Ensured smooth end-to-end functionality across all platform modules. Enhanced platform efficiency and reliability through comprehensive testing. Early defect detection improved release quality significantly.
