My Life: 11 September 2020

A Friday in my life as an automation engineer.

9:00-9:45. Compiled summary of daily automation runs and emailed to my team. Tools I used: Jenkins and Allure reports.
9:45-11:30. Status meetings. (An alternative to status meetings). Narrowly avoided a Friday release.
11:30-12:00. Reviewed code from junior engineers. Jenkins was inaccesible so I couldn't do much else. My review guidelines generally follow Python PEP8 standards. However, I value some parts more than others of the nearly 1000 line long document. I will share my shorter version in the future.
12:00-1:00. Lunch. I worked while eating. I generally try to avoid this but I gave into the pressure today.
1:00-5:00. Discovered the root cause of flakiness of Zepher integration with automation framework was actually TWO separate root causes. Tools I used: Zephyr, Jira, Jenkins, python, logging.
5:00-5:30. Reviewing and updating documentation. Tools I used: Confluence.
