Core Strengths: • Designing automation frameworks for Web UI & API testing • Driving CI/CD adoption with Azure DevOps & Jenkins • Ensuring end-to-end quality across functional, regression, smoke, sanity, exploratory, and accessibility testing • Collaborating with stakeholders to align test strategies with business goals Key Contributions & Achievements Test Strategy & Planning • Collaborated with stakeholders to understand requirements and defined effective test strategies aligned with business goals. • Prepared detailed test plans and test cases covering functional, regression, smoke, sanity, exploratory, and accessibility testing. Automation Frameworks • Designed and maintained automation scripts for Web UI using Selenium with Java, integrated into a hybrid BDD (Cucumber)+ TDD (TestNG) framework with Page Object Model (POM). • Automated API testing using Rest Assured and Postman, including request chaining, token-based authentication (OAuth2/JWT), and schema validations. • Developed reusable utilities for config handling, data providers (Excel/JSON), and environment management. • Built an in-house automation framework using TestNG, integrated with Testbeats for real-time reporting and observability. DevOps & CI/CD Integration • Integrated automation with Maven CLI for environment-based executions. • Set up CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and Jenkins, enabling scheduled and event-triggered automation runs. • Monitored build health, investigated failures by analyzing logs, and used New Relic APM for real-time debugging of backend services. • Coordinated closely with DevOps to validate builds across environments (Dev → QA → Stage → Prod). Agile & Quality Practices • Reported and tracked defects via Azure DevOps Boards, linked test cases to user stories, and ensured traceability. • Participated in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, grooming, retrospectives) and drove QA process improvements. • Performed critical manual testing when required: exploratory, monkey, and edge case validation. Collaboration & Code Quality • Maintained automation codebase with Git, followed branching strategies, and conducted peer reviews to improve test code quality. What I bring: • Proven expertise in UI & API test automation, framework design, and CI/CD adoption. • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams. • A focus on building scalable, maintainable, and reliable automation frameworks. Availability: Currently serving notice period and open to opportunities as an Immediate Joiner.
