Vanderlan Alves da Silva Filho

I’m an SDET and QA Lead with 15+ years building test automation from zero, scaling coverage from 0% to 60% across 5 squads and shipping 500+ tests across unit, API, performance, and E2E layers. I work across the full automation stack—Cypress and Robot Framework for E2E, Python and Playwright for scripted flows, and strong API/performance validation with Postman and K6. I embed shift-left quality practices into Agile teams, designing CI/CD quality gates in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions that reduced regression cycles from 3 days to under 4 hours. I also run accessibility testing with the AXE library against WCAG 2.1 across multiple front-end applications and implement maintainable frameworks using Clean Code principles and patterns like Page Object Model, Factory, and Strategy. In 2025–2026, I moved into AI-assisted testing by integrating the Claude API to generate test case stubs, validate LLM outputs, and flag flaky tests automatically—reducing manual test authoring effort by ~30%. I mentor engineers, set team standards for test documentation and reporting (Allure), and I also share QA knowledge through Medium and my Vida de QA podcast.
