Hi, my name is
Josef Novotný
SDET · Platform QA
Quality engineer with 7 years of experience in test automation and QA tooling.
About Me
I've been in testing since 2019. I started on the backend side (SOAP/REST, JMeter) and later moved to web and mobile automation in Java (Selenium, Appium). At Rohlik I'm now in the platform QA team, which sits under Platform/DevOps. I look after test environments, the mobile device farm, CI and performance tests, basically everything other teams need to be able to test. Being part of Platform brings me closer to infrastructure and DevOps, which is the direction I want to keep growing in. I like building my own tools and I use AI agents a lot, mostly Claude Code.

Sep 2025 – Present
Platform QA team looking after QA processes and infrastructure for the other teams. I manage test environments on Kubernetes (ArgoCD) and develop AIDA, our internal tool that teams use to lock environments, deploy services and run tests (Python, Slack bot, MCP server, Vue dashboard). I also look after the mobile device farm with Android and iOS devices. I set up performance testing in k6 with Datadog dashboards, sped up CI pipelines and prepare templates and AI skills for testing.

Projects
A browser-based idle/action ARPG. The character fights on its own, but you can also take control and play it actively. Around that there is the build, loot, crafting and economy, plus server-side accounts, offline farming and real-time PvP duels. I've mostly worked on the HUD and UI art, the passive tree, ascendancies and enemies.
