Denis Mashutin
Denis Mashutin is a Software Test Automation Engineer at JetBrains, responsible for PyCharm’s UI tests. A serial career switcher, he transitioned from Arabic technical translation in the Middle East into software development and has already tried out quite a few roles in IT: technical writer, documentation lead & DocOps engineer, QA engineer, test automation engineer. Along the way, he introduced docs‑as‑code practices, built automation frameworks, and developed tools to accelerate development workflows and ensure quality. He is now focused on building a robust, informative UI test infrastructure for PyCharm, with an emphasis on improving release quality and developer experience.
Session
PyCharm QA team stopped chasing green and switched to the "observability over stability" approach. This talk will share our workflows for monitoring trends and tell the story of creating the 100% vibe-coded, stateless solution that builds real time views from API requests, highlights similar failures, and draws attention to regressions.
