Hariteja Marrouth

Lead quality engineering and test automation for an enterprise Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) SaaS product that helps customer organisations plan and manage their business continuity and disaster recovery programmes.

• Automation Architecture: Designed and developed a Playwright-based automation framework using TypeScript, covering UI and API testing with reusable utilities, parallel execution and cross-browser support.
• Automation Coverage & Reliability: Built and maintained a comprehensive automated test suite spanning UI, API, functional, sanity and regression scenarios. Improved automation reliability, achieving a reported 60% reduction in flaky tests.
• CI/CD & Reporting: Integrated automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines using Harness, with Allure reporting and Grafana dashboards for test-result visibility and quality monitoring.
• AI-Assisted Test Engineering: Developed a natural-language CLI pilot using optional OpenAI integration to translate supported requests into controlled API and Playwright actions, with deterministic execution.
• Quality Strategy: Contribute to test planning, risk-based validation, release readiness and defect analysis while collaborating with developers, product stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
• Technical Leadership: Support automation design decisions, framework maintainability, troubleshooting and knowledge sharing across the engineering team.

Owned quality engineering and test automation initiatives for an enterprise low-code SaaS platform, with responsibilities spanning application functionality, platform compatibility, integrations, performance and security.

• UI & API Automation: Developed and maintained automated tests using Playwright, Cypress and TypeScript/JavaScript, supporting functional, regression and integration testing.
• Performance Engineering: Conducted load and stress testing using JMeter and Taurus, including performance validation at up to 1,000 concurrent users. Used Grafana and InfluxDB to analyse performance trends and test results.
• Platform Compatibility & Upgrades: Validated platform deployments across Windows and Linux distributions, including RHEL, Ubuntu and CentOS, and tested Elasticsearch upgrades for compatibility and stability.
• Identity & Security Testing: Tested SSO and authentication integrations involving Okta, Ping Identity, ADFS, Salesforce and Azure AD, along with OAuth-based flows and security scanning using Veracode.
• Cloud & Integration Testing: Performed API and integration testing across AWS and Azure environments, supporting platform reliability and release validation.
• Innovation & Recognition: Co-created Checkmate, an internal application for test automation reporting and bug triage, as part of a hackathon-winning team.
• Quality Ownership: Collaborated with engineering and product teams on test strategy, defect triage, release validation and continuous improvement of testing practices.

Contributed to quality engineering for the Rollbase low-code SaaS/PaaS platform, focusing on functional testing, API automation, regression testing and product release quality.

• Functional & Integration Testing: Tested platform features across UI, client-side and server-side functionality, validating end-to-end business workflows and application behaviour.
• API Automation: Developed and maintained automated API tests using REST Assured and supporting test frameworks, covering REST/SOAP services, integrations and data validation.
• Test Automation: Worked with Selenium-based automation, Java and TestNG to develop reusable tests and support regression execution.
• Performance Testing: Used JMeter to perform load and stress testing, assessing concurrency, stability, data integrity and application behaviour under load.
• Release Validation: Owned testing activities for assigned features, including test design, execution, defect reporting, regression testing and release readiness.
• Defect Investigation: Analysed application behaviour, service responses, logs and test failures to help identify issues and support timely resolution.

• Worked on software quality assurance for enterprise telecom applications, contributing to functional and integration testing across customer management and operational workflows.
• Functional & Integration Testing: Executed test scenarios across CRM, provisioning, billing and customer-care systems, validating business workflows and interactions between integrated applications.
• Test Design & Execution: Prepared and executed test cases, documented results and maintained test artefacts to support structured test cycles.
• Defect Management: Logged and tracked defects using HP ALM/Quality Center, working with development teams to clarify issues and verify fixes.
• Issue Investigation: Analysed EAI logs and application behaviour to investigate integration issues and support defect triage.
• Quality Reporting: Prepared test execution updates, defect summaries and status reports to communicate progress and testing risks to stakeholders.
• Automation Foundation: Built foundational knowledge of test automation through Selenium/UFT training and hands-on exposure to enterprise testing practices.
