Applied white-box and black-box testing techniques to design functional system-level test scenarios for core workflows such as event creation and speaker registration, enhancing defect detection during early testing phasesDeveloped and maintained automated test scripts for both UI and API using Selenium (Python), Playwright, Postman, and Swagger; executed regression and integration tests within a CI/CD pipeline, achieving over 90% test coverage and reducing defect leakage rate to productionConducted non-functional performance testing with Apache JMeter under simulated load of virtual users; identified response time degradations and system bottlenecks, enabling performance tuning prior to releasePerformed accessibility testing aligned with WCAG 2.1 guidelines, using keyboard navigation and contrast ratio validation to verify usability attributes; contributed to inclusive design complianceLeveraged AI-based quality assistance tools to generate initial test procedures, analyze historical defect clustering, and prioritize exploratory testing based on risk areas derived from past incidentsEnhanced the defect management process by applying severity, priority, and root cause classification in Jira; ensured traceability between test basis, test conditions, and identified defects during test executionParticipated in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, review, retrospectives) to align test activities with the current iteration goals and ensure early involvement in test planning based on user stories and acceptance criteriaConducted session-based exploratory testing (SBTM) by defining test charters, documenting test notes, and logging issues found in early builds, effectively uncovering high-priority edge-case defectsDesigned keyword-driven and data-driven frameworks to promote test reuse and maintainability; enabled parallel test execution across environments via integration with CI tools, reducing execution time and supporting scalable test architecture.
