About Priya Yesare

With over 20 years of expertise in software quality assurance, I bring deep experience in both manual and automation testing across complex enterprise environments. Proficient in Java, Selenium, Playwright, and TypeScript, I have architected scalable QA automation frameworks and led end-to-end testing initiatives that enhance product reliability and accelerate release cycles.I currently lead a full stack development team, managing the complete software development lifecycle while ensuring the delivery of high quality, resilient solutions. My strength lies in cross functional collaboration, technical leadership, and consistently driving projects to completion on critical timelines.As part of my continuous innovation efforts, I have been integrating AI powered testing strategies into QA workflows. This includes self healing automation, intelligent alert prioritization, and predictive test coverage to significantly reduce maintenance overhead and improve detection of edge cases. My recent work explores the use of tools such as GitHub Copilot and AI enhanced CI/CD pipelines to streamline and future proof testing practices.I am also deeply invested in mentoring QA professionals, establishing best practices, and collaborating closely with partner and client teams to ensure seamless integration and system validation.Early in my career, I built a strong development foundation with VB6 and C Sharp.NET, which helps me bridge the gap between development and QA teams effectively.Whether it involves designing intelligent automation frameworks, scaling quality processes, or leading cross functional teams, I am passionate about solving complex challenges and advancing innovation in software testing.
