- Performed API testing using API mocking techniques and validated their response codes and response data using Cypress
- Improved reusability, maintainability, and support for parallelism by implementing domain objects and leveraged dependency injections for sharing objects within the Cucumber solution
- Used npm scripts and Cypress Dashboard to support multiple browser executions of tests, multiple environment executions, and parallel execution of tests within the test framework
- Created independent atomic tests to support parallel execution by authoring reusable API functions to set up application data/state and manage user and application states between test scenarios
- Devised and influenced the use of contract testing to support the testing of microservices at an integration layer
- Packaged test framework into a Docker image using Dockerfile and Docker Compose to run headless tests utilized by Developers and to integrate with GitLab CI pipeline more easily
