About Ankita Bhatt

I started my career in manual QA, learning to thoughtfully break systems and understand how they really work. That curiosity naturally led me to build automation frameworks with Selenium, RestAssured, and SoapUI, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines to accelerate releases and improve reliability.Over time, I became passionate about performance engineering, optimizing high-usage transactions, reducing backend bottlenecks, and leveraging LoadRunner, JMeter, Dynatrace, Splunk, and Cloud monitoring to keep applications performing smoothly at scale. I approach QA not just as testing, but as a way to bridge technical work with business outcomes, through shift-left testing, SLA/NFR management, and observability.Along the way, I’ve led CoE setups, mentored global teams, conducted cross-functional workshops, and driven QA transformations, building self-sufficient teams and processes that deliver measurable impact. Every step of my journey has been about learning, improving, and making systems and teams stronger.Specialties: Performance Engineering: LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE), LoadRunner Scripting, JMeter, SLA/NFR management, Shift-left testing Test Automation & CI/CD: Selenium, RestAssured, SoapUI, Pipeline integration Programming: Basic Java, Basic Python, SQL Observability & Monitoring: Dynatrace, Grafana, Splunk Cloud QA & Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes Quality Platforms & Collaboration: Jira, SharePoint, ServiceNow, Confluence, Quest, QC ALM Leadership & QA Transformation: CoE setup, Mentoring, Process improvements, QA strategy, QA GovernanceOutside of work, I enjoy reading and writing, sharing insights on my blog https://ankiiwrites.blogspot.com, which fuels my curiosity and creativity.
