Ankita Gurkhe

Highly skilled and dedicated QA Automation Engineer with over 3 years of professional experience designing, developing, and executing end-to-end automation solutions for both web and API-based applications across the automotive (FCA Stellantis) and networking (Cisco) domains. I specialize in building robust, maintainable frameworks using Selenium Web Driver with Java, TestNG, Maven, Page Object Model and Data-Driven approaches, and implementing BDD practices with Cucumber to foster clear communication between development and QA teams. My expertise extends to API automation with Rest Assured, SOAP UI, Postman, and Swagger, alongside backend validation through SQL-based database testing. Proficient with test management and defect-tracking tools such as JIRA and IBM Rational Quality Manager, I integrate functional, regression, smoke, system integration, and UAT testing into CI/CD pipelines to consistently deliver high-quality, defect-free software. Thriving in Agile Scrum environments, I excel at requirement analysis, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and cross-functional collaboration to accelerate release cycles and drive continuous improvement. With a relentless focus on quality excellence, strong analytical abilities, and a passion for continuous learning, I am committed to implementing automation best practices that align with business goals and generate measurable efficiency gains.
