I have 2+ years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, including over 1 year specializing in Software QA Automation. I began my career with manual Software QA and API testing processes, then transitioned into automation to improve the scalability and effectiveness of QA workflows. I actively contribute to software test case design and execution, bug tracking, test reporting, automation scripting, and process improvement.
Within Software QA Automation, I manage repository control and integrate my tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous automated testing. As a detail-oriented and proactive software QA engineer, I strive to enhance software quality through reliable, scalable, and automated testing workflows.
• Designed and implemented an end-to-end automation process for an enterprise document management system using IBM DataCap, BPM, and FileNet; successfully deployed to production and contributed significantly to digital transformation
• I conducted the analysis of ICAP regression scenarios; as part of this process, I created and integrated the database template and improved the automation infrastructure. I also enabled the automated delivery of scenario reports to relevant departments via email
•Authorization scenarios for blacklist checks, high-risk sectors, and crypto assets were deployed to production as part of the travel insurance quote process. These scenarios were executed in parallel with a thread count of 3
•Analyzed Business Requirement Documents to design test strategies, create detailed test cases, and prepare comprehensive test result reports.
•Validated and verified software functionalities against product requirements, ensuring timely delivery of planned releases.
•Actively participated in all Agile/Scrum ceremonies including Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives to understand business logic and testing needs.
•Utilized Git for version control and managed code repositories using Azure DevOps to ensure collaboration and version tracking.
•Performed manual API testing using Postman and SoapUI, and developed automated API tests using REST Assured and Java.
•Implemented test activities in alignment with SDLC and Agile methodologies, conducting Functional, Regression, and Smoke testing throughout development cycles.
•Designed and developed custom test automation frameworks from scratch using Maven, POM (Page Object Model), and BDD (Behavior Driven Development) with Cucumber (Gherkin), Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, JUnit, JDBC, REST Assured, Jenkins, and SQL.
•Created and executed UI automation scripts across multiple browsers/environments and reported defects and results to the QA and development teams.
•Developed reusable step definitions and feature files in Cucumber to support BDD scenarios and improve collaboration between QA and business stakeholders.
•Used Apache POI to implement Data-Driven Testing by reading/writing test data from Excel sheets.
•Conducted various testing types including Smoke, Functional, Regression, Integration, and Black Box testing to ensure software quality and performance.
•Maintained automation code base using Git, ensuring code versioning, traceability, and collaboration within the QA team.
•Performed backend testing and data verification by writing and executing complex SQL queries on Microsoft SQL Server databases.
•Planned and managed test processes, designed and executed comprehensive test scenarios to ensure full coverage of functional requirements.
•Collaborated closely with business units to perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring all deliverables met project expectations and identifying major defects before production deployment.
•Prepared detailed test procedures in line with project specifications and the Test Evaluation Master Plan, following ISTQB-aligned methodologies and QA best practices.
•Led and executed SOAP-based web service testing using SoapUI to verify integration points, data exchange, and third-party interface behaviors.
•Conducted system-level testing by analyzing complex workflows and performing end-to-end validation of critical business processes.
•Ran regression testing after defect fixes and version updates, validating system stability across different releases.
•Tracked defects, created detailed test cases, and ensured traceability using HP ALM; managed task progress and bug lifecycle through JIRA.
•Performed backend testing by extracting and validating data using SQL queries on MS SQL Server, ensuring data accuracy and integrity.
•Worked in Agile Scrum environment; participated in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives while aligning QA deliverables within sprint goals.
•Automated key regression test cases using Selenium WebDriver with Java, reducing test cycle duration and increasing overall test coverage.
•Contributed to the development and maintenance of automation test suites, improving test efficiency and supporting CI/CD pipeline integration.
