Software QA Engineer at Cisco
Prague, Czechia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPavel Šaman is a pragmatic Software QA Engineer with nine years of experience building reliable test automation and observability in international, remote teams based in Prague. At Cisco he designed end-to-end solutions to capture test results in New Relic, consolidated code coverage reporting, and introduced Playwright UI tests, improving visibility and enabling developer-driven test contributions. He has a proven track record of speeding up CI/CD pipelines (40–60% reductions), automating smoke tests, and evaluating tooling trade-offs like Cypress vs Playwright to guide team decisions. Pavel combines broad testing practice—unit, smoke, UI, and performance—with hands-on bug investigation that once uncovered and fixed a high-impact event-joining issue in a production product. With a background in economics and IT, he brings both analytical rigor and user-focused thinking to quality engineering. He favors measurable improvements and tooling-driven solutions that make testing scalable and actionable for developers.
