- Created risk-based test plans and traceable test scenarios mapped to Admin, Nurse, and Doctor workflows and referral use cases.
- Participated in Agile Scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, daily standups, reviews, retrospectives) to align test scope with iteration goals.
- Authored detailed manual test cases in JIRA (or linked test management plug-in) covering user creation, role mapping, group membership, patient record access, messaging, and referral flows.
- Designed positive, negative, boundary, and security-oriented test data sets (valid/invalid roles, orphaned patients, missing vitals, escalation paths).
- Verified RBAC rules: Admin full control; Senior Doctor group ownership; Junior Doctor/Nurse scoped to assigned Health Groups; correct view/edit permissions for patient data, vitals, and messaging threads.
- Validated Nurse workflows: patient list retrieval, profile view, vitals/medication history display, referral submission (specialist, ER).
- Validated Doctor workflows: patient health history aggregation, review of nurse messages, and message responses to nurses/patients.
- Confirmed auditability of key actions (user creation, role change, referral submitted, message sent) where logging was implemented.
- Executed UI validation and functional testing across major browsers and versions (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer/Edge as applicable).
- Assessed layout responsiveness, grid/table rendering of patient lists, and modal dialogs for patient detail views under varying resolutions.
- Tested responsive/mobile web behavior on iOS and Android devices (smartphones & tablets) to ensure workflow parity, scroll ability in data-heavy patient views, and touch interaction reliability.
- Validated REST API endpoints backing user management, patient records, vitals retrieval, messaging, and referral submission.
- Performed positive/negative testing by varying HTTP methods, auth tokens, headers, JSON payloads, and query params; verified status codes, schema, and business rule enforcement.
- Used Postman for exploratory/manual API checks automated API validations using RESTAssured within the test framework.
- Executed SQL queries to confirm persistence of user roles, group relationships, patient assignments, vitals data, and referral state transitions.
- Leveraged JDBC connections in the automation framework for backend data assertions during end-to-end runs.
- Implemented a Selenium WebDriver automation framework using BDD (Cucumber) Page Object Model (POM) with Singleton driver/session management for stability.
- Developed UI regression scripts covering critical Admin, Nurse, and Doctor paths, including role creation and patient detail navigation.
- Added API-level checks to reduce UI dependency and speed feedback.
- Maintained and extended the framework with reusable utilities, locators, and test data loaders.
- Integrated Selenium Grid to run suites in parallel across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari for accelerated regression feedback.
- Parameterized environment, credentials, and data sets for repeatable multi-env execution.
- Used Maven for dependency management, build orchestration, and environment profiles.
- Orchestrated automated test execution in Jenkins (hosted on AWS) as part of the CI pipeline; published HTML/extent reports and trend metrics.
- Version-controlled test code, data, and configs in Git / GitHub; enforced pull-request review workflow.
- Ran scheduled regression suites on each build and before release cutoffs; compared deltas across sprints.
- Logged, triaged, and tracked defects in JIRA with full reproducibility steps, environment details, screenshots, and logs.
- Partnered with developers to reproduce complex issues, verified fixes, and drove timely closure across sprints.
- Refactored flaky tests, updated locators after UI changes, and improved wait strategies for dynamic data grids.
- Project 1. Web Application
- Description: This Application helps the admin to manage the users of the application. The admin can add users and assign roles to the users like Senior Doctor or Junior Doctor or Nurse. The admin can create Health Group for Senior Doctors and can add junior doctors and nurses under that health group. This Application helps the nurse to view Patient List and helps to View the details of a Particular Patient. The nurse can view the patient profile data, medication history, virtual interactions and vitals data. The nurse can refer the patient to a specialist; refer to ER and so on. This Application helps the doctor to view patient health history, reply to nurse messages and can reply to patient. Collaborated with product owners, developers, and test leads to clarify business rules for user management, role assignments, and Health Group hierarchy.
- Project 2: Virtual Nurse Mobile Application
- Description: This Application is used for monitoring the Patient after post discharge summary. The Patient can login to the application using biometric authentication. This app will remind the patient the time he has to take the medicine. AI is used for detecting the face of the patient and for detecting the pill. This App gives the patient the Diet Plan. This App sends the Patients health data to the Web Application. The user can send his Vitals Data like BP, Weight, and Sugar to the Web Application. Based on the vitals data the web application will take the actions accordingly.
- Project 3: Virtual Nurse Connect:
- This Application is developed for tabs for use by nurse and doctor. Using this app the nurse can register a patient and can collect patient vitals like BP, Weight and then send the collected information to the doctor so that the doctor can easily view the health history of the patient easily. The nurse can upload patient’s documents also so that the doctor can view the documents easily.
