Last position:
Software development, software quality assurance, tester, test automation engineer at IT services
Refactoring the CRM system of an IT service provider This includes a complete refactoring of the legacy application, in particular the migration from JDK 1.6 to JDK 25 and the replacement of self-developed infrastructure components, such as the Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) and the frontend template engine, with current standard components based on Spring Boot. At the same time, the previous close coupling between the back end and front end is being removed and the application is being migrated to a modern microservice architecture. The microservices are implemented as independent, reusable units and operated in autonomous Docker containers. The backend components are provided through REST APIs. As part of the project, CI/CD and deployment processes for the container-based microservice architecture were also established and automated using GitLab CI. At the same time, quality assurance is ensured through the implementation and automation of unit, integration and system tests. The work is supported by AI, particularly through the use of GitHub Copilot and LM Studio (gpt-oss) for code development and prompt engineering.

About the technology
What Serenity BDD does
Serenity BDD is an open-source automated acceptance testing and reporting framework for Java teams. It turns executable specifications into readable reports that show what was tested, how scenarios behaved and where failures occurred. It is commonly used with JUnit, Cucumber and Selenium.
Core capabilities
Serenity BDD helps teams connect business-readable behaviour with maintainable automated checks. Strong implementations usually cover:
- Writing structured acceptance criteria and executable scenarios
- Automating browser journeys with Selenium or other WebDriver integrations
- Testing REST services and validating API responses
- Producing detailed reports with screenshots, steps and outcomes
- Linking tests to requirements, features and release evidence
Ecosystem and tooling
The framework fits Java build environments based on Maven or Gradle and works with JUnit and Cucumber. Specialists often combine it with Selenium WebDriver, REST Assured, CI pipelines and source-control workflows. They also configure Serenity reports, test data, environment settings and parallel execution for dependable feedback.
When companies need specialists
Freelance expertise is useful when an existing test suite is difficult to understand, slow to maintain or poorly connected to product requirements. Companies may also need support during a BDD rollout, a migration from another automation approach or the introduction of API and browser coverage. In Germany, specialists often collaborate remotely with distributed product teams or work on-site when workshops and close domain alignment matter.
Typical delivery work
A Serenity BDD professional may assess the current framework, define a test architecture and create reusable page objects or screenplays. Typical deliverables include feature files, step definitions, API checks, CI integration, reporting configuration and documentation for product and quality teams. The work should fit the application’s risk profile rather than add automation for its own sake.
What strong professionals bring
Look for hands-on evidence of readable test design, reliable selectors, stable test data and clear failure diagnosis. Strong specialists understand BDD as a collaboration practice, not only as a tool, and can explain scenarios in terms that business stakeholders can review. They also know when Serenity BDD is a good fit, when plain JUnit is simpler and how to keep automated checks fast and trustworthy.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Serenity BDD? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Serenity BDD is used to automate acceptance and regression tests while producing detailed, readable reports. Teams apply it to browser workflows, REST APIs and business scenarios that need traceable evidence of behaviour.
Serenity BDD complements rather than replaces Cucumber or JUnit. Cucumber provides a Gherkin-based scenario style, while JUnit supplies a test execution foundation; Serenity adds reporting, traceability and integrations around those tests.
A strong Serenity BDD specialist usually understands Java, Maven or Gradle, Selenium WebDriver and CI systems. REST Assured, API testing, Cucumber, Git and practical BDD facilitation are also valuable when the scope spans web, service and business validation.
Serenity BDD work does not depend on a fixed amount of experience. The right level depends on the application, test architecture and delivery risk; a smaller suite may need focused automation support, while a framework rollout calls for someone who can design standards and coach the team.
Serenity BDD is well suited to remote collaboration because tests, reports and build configuration can be reviewed in shared repositories and CI pipelines. On-site sessions can still help with domain workshops, stakeholder alignment and decisions about acceptance criteria, especially for German-speaking teams.
Ask a Serenity BDD specialist to explain how they prevent flaky tests, structure reusable steps and investigate failures. Review sample reports, test design, CI feedback and the link between scenarios and requirements rather than judging the suite only by its volume.
Serenity BDD supports both browser and API automation through integrations and reporting around the checks. A specialist can combine Selenium-based journeys with REST Assured or comparable tools so service behaviour is tested directly instead of only through the user interface.
Serenity BDD may be unnecessary for a small, straightforward suite where plain JUnit or another lightweight framework already gives clear feedback. It can also create maintenance overhead if a team adopts BDD syntax without shared ownership of scenarios, domain language and acceptance criteria.
