About Anjali Vasant Sonpethkar

Automation Test Analyst at IBM with professional experience in quality engineering and automation testing since 2008. I believe quality is not only about defect detection, but about building confidence in systems through thoughtful testing and strong automation foundations.With a background in MCA and a consistent academic record, I have worked extensively on designing and developing robust automation frameworks including keyword-driven, data-driven, functional-driven, and action-driven models using tools such as UFT and Selenium. My experience spans system, integration, and regression testing, with a strong focus on reliability, maintainability, and scalability.Beyond delivery, I have a strong inclination toward knowledge sharing and capability building. I have trained and mentored over 200 professionals across beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, contributing to structured learning paths and effective evaluation processes in automation testing.I am also actively exploring how emerging AI capabilities can support smarter testing practices and improve quality outcomes, while preserving human judgment, ethics, and intent. I value clarity, collaboration, and continuous learning, and I enjoy working in environments that encourage thoughtful problem-solving and collective growth.
