About Vikas Yedavelly

I am a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with over 7 years of experience specializing in test automation, API validation, performance testing, and CI/CD integration. I have designed and developed robust test automation frameworks using tools like Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, and Protractor, enabling efficient cross-browser, cross-platform, and mobile testing. With a strong focus on BDD and TDD, I have used Cucumber, Gherkin, and TestNG to implement behavior-driven development and improve test coverage. I’ve automated complex API validations using Postman, RestAssured, and SOAPUI, ensuring functional accuracy and security, while also conducting performance testing with JMeter, LoadRunner, and Gatling to validate system scalability. I’ve built mobile automation frameworks using Appium and Espresso for both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring comprehensive testing across multiple devices. Throughout my career, I’ve integrated test automation into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and cloud platforms like Azure and GCP, ensuring seamless and continuous testing. I’m experienced in backend testing with SQL and PL/SQL, and I’ve collaborated closely with development and QA teams in Agile environments to streamline workflows and improve software quality. My passion lies in driving high-quality software delivery by building scalable, maintainable automation solutions that improve test efficiency and reduce release cycles. I am always eager to collaborate on innovative testing strategies and share insights to help teams deliver exceptional software
