I have worked on complex Salesforce implementations validating custom objects, Apex, triggers, workflows, Lightning components, security models, and third-party integrations, along with Veeva CRM features including metadata, data migration, and compliance. Skilled in creating dynamic, reusable, and maintainable Selenium frameworks applying POM and data-driven approaches, integrated with TestNG and Maven. My strong skills in Postman allow me to validate REST and SOAP APIs, design parameterized tests, automate collections, and ensure data integrity.
