About Sagar Hagawane

At the forefront of Software Quality Assurance and Test Automation, I, Sagar Wamanrao Hagawane, bring over eight years of specialized experience as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET). My journey in this field has equipped me with extensive hands-on expertise in web, mobile (iOS and Android), and API automation. Proficient in Java, Python, and C++, I have a deep understanding of various testing tools, including Selenium, Appium, Playwright, and Cypress, which ensures robust and scalable test automation frameworks.From an SDET perspective, my approach to quality engineering is comprehensive and strategic. I excel in designing and implementing robust test automation frameworks from scratch, tailored to the specific needs of each project. By leveraging advanced programming concepts and utilizing cutting-edge tools, I create scalable and efficient testing solutions that integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines. This not only enhances development velocity but also fosters a culture of continuous integration and delivery.My expertise extends to both Test Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior Driven Development (BDD), utilizing frameworks such as JUnit, TestNG, and Cucumber. I develop exhaustive test automation scripts that cover both functional and non-functional requirements, ensuring rigorous testing of every aspect of your software. Proficient with cloud-based testing tools, including BrowserStack and Sauce Labs, I optimize resource utilization and conduct parallel testing across multiple browsers and devices.My commitment to excellence is reflected in my meticulous test planning, execution, and reporting processes. I devise comprehensive test strategies, test plans, and test cases, ensuring traceability and transparency throughout the testing lifecycle. With a strong foundation in agile methodologies, I actively participate in Scrum ceremonies, collaborating closely with development teams, stakeholders, and clients to deliver high-quality software solutions.Skills -Programming languages: Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C, C++Databases: MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, MongoDBTools: AWS, GIT, SVN, JIRA, Rest Assured, Postman, Bitbucket, Intellij Idea, Gatling, JMeter, SonarQube, Docker, Kubernetes, Mountebank, AnyProxy, Data & Service Virtualization, Swagger, PerfectoFrameworks: Selenium, Cucumber, Appium,Pact.io, Cypress, Capybara, Spring Boot, PlaywrightContinuous Integration: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, TravisCI, GitLab.Project Methodologies: Agile Software Development, Scrum, XP Practices(Pair programming).
