ABOUT SUSHRI SONALI ROUT
As a Senior Test Specialist at IBM, my primary responsibility was to lead end-to-end testing activities across complex enterprise applications. I owned test strategy creation, requirement analysis, test planning, effort estimation, and execution for functional, regression, integration, and UAT cycles. I collaborated closely with developers, business analysts, and stakeholders to ensure high-quality releases aligned with client expectations and SLAs.I also drove automation initiatives using tools like Selenium and API testing frameworks to improve regression efficiency and reduce release timelines. My role included mentoring junior testers, reviewing test artifacts, managing defect triage calls, and ensuring adherence to Agile/Scrum practices. Additionally, I provided quality metrics, risk analysis, and continuous improvement recommendations to enhance overall product stability and performance.My expertise spans web, API, and backend automation, with a strong focus on in-sprint automation, defect prevention, and continuous improvement. I have collaborated closely with cross-functional teams and mentored junior engineers, enabling them to adopt best testing practices and strengthen automation coverage across projects. Passionate about continuous learning, I stay updated with emerging QA trends such as BDD (Cucumber), cloud-based testing, and API automation. I am seeking opportunities where I can leverage my skills to build future-ready automation solutions and contribute to delivering reliable, scalable, and high-performing software systems.
