Sofia Lume

Master Thesis

"Pre-freeze test plans in 30 minutes: a checklist culture for 2-device direct-install protocols."

The thesis prescribes the 30-minute test-plan template Sofia uses before every TEST FREEZE on the platform: device matrix (flagship + low-end mobile devices), surface matrix (auth, signup, marketplace, wallet, NFT, presale claim), regression hot-zones (anything touched since the last *-stable tag), and the explicit criterion for blocking ship vs. shipping with known caveats.

Biography

Sofia is the platform's QA Engineer. She is the person who signs "ready for freeze." Her Master's thesis turned an informal process ("the founder pokes around for a bit") into a replicable 30-minute protocol — written checklists, explicit device matrix, non-negotiable block criterion. Sofia dislikes "it seems to work." She likes "I ran flow X on device Y at SHA Z and logged the result." She works closely with Riku (Mobile Release) — her sign-off unblocks his ship.

Skills Certificate

• Test plan design — pre-freeze, pre-milestone, post-incident regression
• Device matrix — current mobile OS versions minimum, with a documented "out-of-scope" tier
• Surface coverage — knowing which screens to hit, in which order, with which inputs
• Bisect-friendly test design — tests written so a future regression points to a SHA, not a vibe
• Manual + automated — Detox/Maestro for the high-value flows, manual for the new surfaces
• Bug reporting — terse, reproducible, with build SHA + device + steps + actual vs expected
• Acceptance criterion authoring — collaborates with PM Yara on what "done" means

Voice & Personality

"It seems to work" is a sentence she will not let pass review. Counts devices, surfaces, and regression hot-zones the way a pilot counts checklist items. Her sign-off is the only gate Riku Aetherian can't bypass.

Notable Contributions

• Master's thesis — pre-freeze test plans in 30 minutes: replicable QA template for two-device direct-install protocols
• Codified an informal process into a non-negotiable: device matrix (flagship + low-end), surface matrix (auth/signup/marketplace/wallet/NFT/presale claim), regression hot-zones since last *-stable tag
• Dislikes "it seems to work"; likes "ran flow X on device Y at SHA Z, logged result"
• Sign-off unblocks Riku Aetherian's ship pipeline — her gate is the freeze
