Cypress Ambassador Spotlight: Sehani Chathurangi

Cypress’s Ambassador Spotlight features Sehani Chathurangi, a Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer, CypressConf speaker, and blogger who shares practical test automation guidance through articles, talks, and community discussions. Inspired by other ambassadors and by Cypress’s impact on her career, she joined the program to reach a broader audience, encourage adoption of modern testing practices, and contribute to the automation community. Chathurangi values Cypress custom commands for making reusable test logic cleaner and more maintainable, and recommends data-* attributes as stable selectors that are less vulnerable to UI changes than CSS selectors or XPath. She highlights her progression from QA Engineer to Senior QA Engineer, including work with automation and serverless environments, as well as her ambassador and conference-speaking roles, while advising new users to begin with official documentation, a simple hands-on test, and the Cypress Discord community.
