- Collaborated closely with Product Owners, Developers and CTO to review requirements, define acceptance criteria, and ensure complete test coverage for new features and enhancements.
- Designed, developed, and maintained UI and API automation frameworks from scratch, initially using Selenium WebDriver with Cucumber (BDD), PyTest with PyTest-BDD on Python language, following Page Object Model (POM) design principles.
- Migrated full UI regression suite to Playwright JavaScript/TypeScript, integrating AI tools Perplexity, GitHub Copilot, Claude AI to improve productivity, test design, and framework development.
- Implemented cross-browser automated testing using Selenium Grid and Playwright workers, executing test suites in Chromium, Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge in parallel to reduce execution time and increase coverage.
- Integrated Allure reporting with Playwright to generate detailed execution reports including steps, screenshots, and traces for failed tests.
- Used CI/CD pipelines Jenkins with Selenium to trigger automated UI and API test executions and generate reports.
- Performed API testing and automation, initially validating REST APIs, and later transitioning to GraphQL, testing queries and mutations as part of backend validation.
- Implemented Data-Driven Testing (DDT) by reading and manipulating test data from spreadsheets using the Pandas library in Python, increasing test coverage and reducing redundant test cases.
- Performed manual testing and data validation using PostgreSQL, verifying UI and API data consistency directly against the database.
- Created and maintained manual test scenarios using Testpad tool.
- Performed Smoke, Regression, and End-to-End testing across multiple environments Dev, Stage, Production.
