About Hitesh Vinod Shimpi

As a Software Development Engineer in Test at SAS, my focus is on advancing automation frameworks, specifically Playwright and RestAssured, to enhance stability, scalability, and regression execution efficiency. With over five years of experience, I contribute to creating automated web and API test scenarios that include edge cases and negative paths, which bolster release confidence. My expertise includes leveraging DAST and SAST tools such as OWASP ZAP and Snyk to perform application security testing, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified early in the development lifecycle. At SAS, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to uphold quality across deployment and security-sensitive systems. My work involves creating and maintaining test plans, aligning automated test cases with both functional and security requirements, and integrating automation into every phase of the development process. By emphasizing precision, scalability, and maintainability, I strive to deliver robust and reliable software solutions.
