SOFTWARE TEST ENGINEER — AUSTRIA
Melvin Henry
Quality is a test case away.
$ focus: Tosca test automation
Over ten years inside test suites, bug trackers and release pipelines — manual test design, Tosca and Playwright automation, ISTQB-grounded process, and AI-assisted testing with Claude, Copilot and ChatGPT.
ABOUT
Testing is the discipline of asking "what if?" before your users do.
I'm a software test engineer based in Strasshof, just outside Vienna, with over ten years spent across healthcare logistics, transport, energy, insurance and gaming systems in Austria. My work sits between manual test design and automation — writing the test case that catches the edge condition, then building the Tosca, Playwright or Selenium script that keeps catching it every release. Increasingly, I use AI tools like Claude, Copilot and ChatGPT to speed up test design and analysis.
Along the way I've tested for organisations including ebps Logistics, ÖBB, EVN, Uniqa, SwissLife, Pfizer and Red Bull, moving between employed and freelance engagements. I hold ISTQB Foundation, several Tosca specialist certifications and a Scrum Master credential to go with the hands-on experience. Outside of test plans, I fly drones, edit video, and work comfortably in five languages. I'm currently looking for my next role and can start immediately.
