Direct test strategy, planning, and execution across UI, API, and DB layers; own
release readiness and quality gates.
Translate business and functional specs into risk-based test strategies, BDD
scenarios, and executable acceptance criteria.
Build, scale, and stabilize automation frameworks (Selenium/C#, Rest Assured/Java,
Postman) using Page Object Model and modular design; integrated with Azure DevOps
pipelines (PR & nightly).
Optimize regression suites (UI + API), cutting manual regression from 3 weeks to 2
days; eliminated flaky tests via code reviews and RCA.
Implement JMeter performance checks; profiled DB/CPU to tune pools and maintain
p95 ≤ 300ms and 95%
SLA compliance for P2/P3 incidents.
Monitor/report QA metrics (pass rate, defect leakage, execution time) to
stakeholders for transparency and accountability.
Collaborate cross-functionally with developers, support, PMs, POs, and business
analysts to ensure release quality.
Validate data integrity through Oracle and SQL Server (SSMS); implement SQL
driven checks in regression and API contract tests.
Manage version control with Git/Azure Repos and enforce code review standards.
Cycle Time: Accelerated release cadence by ~90% through CI-integrated
automation.
Early Risk Discovery: Identified EPOS till blockers three sprints earlier via UI/API
automation.
Reliability: Stabilized nightly and PR pipelines through systematic refactors and
review checklists. Performance Optimization: Sustained 32 RPS throughput with
tuned DB/Redis pools; maintained error rate

Built and maintained hybrid automation frameworks in Selenium (Java & .NET) and UFT,
leveraging Page Object Model (POM), data-driven, and modular patterns to maximize
maintainability and reuse.
Developed and executed automated regression and functional test suites covering
UI, API, and DB layers; integrated execution into Jenkins and Azure DevOps
pipelines for CI/CD.
Integrated SQL validations with Oracle and SQL Server backends; executed data
consistency checks through stored procedures and query-based validations.
Created and maintained automation artifacts - test plans, test cases, run logs, and
defect metrics aligned with HP ALM/Jira traceability.
Conducted API validation using SoapUI; extended coverage by developing Rest
Assured-based regression checks.
Enhanced test execution throughput by optimizing element locators, introducing
parallel execution with TestNG and thread-safe driver management.
Strong capability in performing cross-browser and cross-device testing to ensure
compatibility across different.
Documented automation framework architecture, onboarding guides, and
contribution standards for new team members.
Drove QA inputs in sprint planning: story pointing, risk-based test scope, capacity, and
automation candidates; ensured test tasks were in the sprint backlog with clear
acceptance criteria. Scrum & STLC: led QA participation in Scrum (stand-ups, planning,
reviews, retros) and
owned STLC gates (design, readiness, sign-off), turning retro actions into concrete
improvements to stability and cycle time.
Automated ~800 UI test cases with consistent >95% regression pass rate across major
application modules.
