ABC (Always Be *Testing)

Hi, I’m Mason Lucas a Quality Assurance professional in the Chicagoland area. I’ve spent nine years of my career dedicated to improving software.

I’ve spent years building test plans for large front-end projects, testing API functionality, and validating data flowing through a site or system. I turned my experience into automation use cases using Selenium, Cypress, and Postman. Right now, I’m expanding my toolset in Playwright and even building this website (check out the GitHub repository linked in the footer)!

While leading small QA teams and testing work for my projects, I built my test suites with as much detail as possible. Details matter in the revenue cycle or checkout lifecycle, and every step counts. While there is such a thing as too many tests, in software you should always be testing.

Skills

Here are some of the skills I've developed during my career:

  • Converting manual test cases into automated tests or suites.
  • Breaking down technical requirements into understandable and testable pieces.
  • Creating test pipelines and integrating them in CI/CD workflows.
  • Onboarding and mentoring new QA team members.
  • Backend API testing and data validation.
  • Leveraging AI tools to quicken manual and automation test case development.
