Test Automation Strategy & Execution

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable and reusable automated test scripts using Python for tools such as Robot Framework, Pytest, and Appium.

• Develop and execute automated regression, smoke, and functional test suites across Web, Mobile, and API layers.

• Integrate test automation within the CI/CD pipeline using GitLab to support continuous testing and rapid feedback loops.

• Maintain traceability between test scenarios, user stories, and acceptance criteria to ensure full coverage and visibility.

• Log, verify, and retest defects, ensuring effective Defect Lifecycle Management via JIRA.

API & Service Layer Testing

• Design and automate API tests to validate endpoints, response data, status codes, and business logic using Postman and Pytest.

• Validate RESTful API responses, schema, status codes, and business rules to ensure robust integration points.

Agile Quality Delivery

• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Review, Retrospectives).

• Collaborate with developers, Product Owners, and the QA team to align on quality goals early in the development lifecycle.

• Ensure testing is aligned with sprint timelines and contribute to sprint deliverables through automated testing coverage.

Reporting & Quality Metrics

• Use QA Touch for test case management and result tracking.

• Report and communicate test progress, execution results, and defects with clarity to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Generate output reports post-execution to provide visibility of coverage and risk.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation

• Proactively research and introduce tools, frameworks, or best practices to improve automation efficiency.

• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, mentorship of junior QAs, and technical upskilling of the team.

• Take ownership of test environments, data setups, and automation framework enhancements.
