Automation Experience

• Developed and maintained robust automation scripts using Selenium WebDriver with Java, significantly increasing test coverage, and reducing manual testing time.
• Enhanced and optimized regression automation suites by analyzing test gaps, refactoring existing scripts, and implementing new, reusable components to improve reliability and efficiency.
• Designed and executed automated smoke tests to quickly validate critical functionalities after each deployment, ensuring early detection of major issues.

Leadership and management

• Led a team of 10 QA professionals, setting clear objectives, delegating tasks, and providing ongoing guidance to achieve project milestones, and maintain high-quality standards.
• Coordinated cross-functional teams (development, product, and business analysts) to ensure timely resolution of issues, effective communication, and alignment on project goals.
• Managed sprint planning and backlog grooming sessions, collaborating with stakeholders to prioritize tasks, and ensure realistic sprint commitments.
• Facilitated client demos and presentations to showcase deliverables, gather feedback, and demonstrate progress against project objectives.
• Monitored sprint progress through daily stand-ups, proactively addressing blockers, and ensuring team accountability for deliverables.
• Owned and managed Change Requests (CRs): Oversaw test design, system integration testing (SIT), and defect management, ensuring smooth implementation, and minimal disruption.

Manual Testing Experience

• Designed, executed, and documented comprehensive manual test cases based on functional and non-functional requirements to ensure thorough validation of software releases.
• Reviewed and updated test documentation to reflect changes in requirements, test coverage, and defect status, supporting ongoing quality assurance efforts.
• Participated in exploratory testing sessions to identify edge cases and potential usability issues not covered by scripted tests.
• Collaborated with developers and business analysts to clarify requirements, reproduce issues, and ensure alignment on acceptance criteria.
• Tracked and reported defects using industry-standard tools (e.g., JIRA,ALM), following up on resolution, and verifying fixes in subsequent test cycles.

Automation Experience

• Contributed to the development and maintenance of test automation scripts for the regression suite, ensuring consistent and efficient validation of application functionality.
• Developed and executed data-driven automated tests using Selenium WebDriver to enhance test coverage and validate application behavior with multiple data sets.
• Built and maintained a robust Page Object Model (POM) framework, utilizing Selenium WebDriver and TestNG, improving script reusability and maintainability.
• Created automation test scripts using Selenium, integrated with the TestNG framework, to support structured and scalable test execution.
• Completed proof of concepts (POCs) on advanced automation tools and frameworks, including BDD with Cucumber, Extent Reports for enhanced test reporting, Sikuli for image-based automation, and Selenium Grid for distributed test execution.

Manual Testing Experience

• Performed comprehensive manual testing activities, including detailed test case design, execution, and thorough defect reporting, to ensure high software quality.
• Mentored QA interns on manual testing processes, best practices, and key application functionalities, supporting their professional development and team effectiveness.
