The brief

Embed a full-time QA Automation engineer to own end-to-end quality assurance for Lucidity's cloud assessment (audit) tool and SaaS dashboard, covering multi-cloud functional testing (AWS, Azure, GCP), automation framework development, and CI/CD pipeline integration — ensuring product reliability as Lucidity scales its cloud storage optimization platform toward enterprise customers.

What we built

A comprehensive, multi-layered QA automation system for Lucidity's cloud storage optimization platform. This includes:

  • A Gradle/Java E2E test framework for the desktop audit/assessment Electron app covering AWS, Azure, and GCP multi-cloud flows with column validation, delta value checks, and OS detail verification
  • A Playwright UI automation framework for the Electron assessment app and SaaS web dashboard
  • A Summary-Level Testing (SLT) framework for automated report sheet validation integrated into CI
  • Visual regression automation for the dashboard, Scaler module, website, and mobile views
  • Feature test suites for advanced infrastructure (AKS, EKS, ASR, clustered storage)
  • Cross-OS compatibility testing across Windows Server 2020/2025 and Ubuntu 20.04/2024
  • Jobs revamp, disk limit, CSV tag, and agent install search bar automation for the SaaS dashboard. All automation was PR-gated and CI-pipeline integrated via Bitbucket.
⊛ Live in production

Assessment app v2 (Electron desktop) fully tested and signed off across AWS, Azure, and GCP; Playwright UI automation suite live for dashboard features (Jobs, Disk Limit, CSV tags, Agent Install); SLT report validation framework integrated in CI pipeline; Visual regression suite active for Dashboard, Scaler, and website; Advanced feature coverage for AKS, EKS, ASR, and clustered storage in production.

How it was built, phase by phase.
