Key Skills & Expertise

✅ API Testing & Automation:

• Extensive experience in testing RESTful and SOAP APIs using Postman, JMeter, and Python-based automation frameworks.
• Proficient in validating API request methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH), status codes, headers, payloads, and authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT, API Keys, Basic Auth, etc.).
• Skilled in analyzing API responses, identifying edge cases, and ensuring data integrity and consistency across requests.

✅ Test Automation Development:

• Develop and execute automated API test scripts using Python with unittest, pytest, and requests library.
• Implement data-driven and parameterized test automation for scalable test execution.
• Design and maintain a robust API test automation framework that integrates with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI/CD).

✅ BDD & Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) Frameworks:

• Create BDD test cases using the Behave framework, with Gherkin syntax, to improve test readability and collaboration between teams.
• Implement step definitions, feature files, and hooks for seamless API test execution in a behavior-driven approach.

✅ Performance & Load Testing:

• Perform performance, load, and stress testing of APIs using JMeter to identify bottlenecks and optimize response times.
• Analyze throughput, latency, error rates, and scalability under varying user loads.

✅ Regression Testing & Continuous Integration:

• Conduct comprehensive regression testing at the end of each sprint to ensure API stability and backward compatibility.
• Integrate API test automation with CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing and deployment.

✅ Code Quality & Best Practices:

• Review Python test scripts and framework code to ensure compliance with PEP 8 coding standards, and maintain high-quality, reusable, and maintainable code.

✅ API Development and Integration Testing:

• Develop new APIs using FastAPI for integration testing with third-party systems and internal microservices.
• Perform end-to-end testing of API integrations to ensure seamless communication between services.
