The candidate will contribute to building scalable, reusable, and maintainable automation frameworks, integrating automated tests into continuous integration and delivery pipelines, and improving testing efficiency through AI-assisted automation tools.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, execute, and maintain automated test scripts for web applications and REST APIs.
- Develop and enhance reusable automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, and Rest Assured.
- Implement UI automation covering functional workflows, regression scenarios, validations, and end-to-end business processes.
- Develop API automation scripts to validate REST endpoints, request and response payloads, status codes, headers, authentication, and error handling.
- Design positive, negative, boundary, and exception-handling test scenarios for APIs and web applications.
- Apply Java programming best practices, including object-oriented programming, collections, exception handling, and reusable component design.
- Integrate automated test suites into Jenkins and/or Azure DevOps pipelines and support scheduled and release-based executions.
- Analyze automation execution reports, troubleshoot failures, distinguish application defects from script or environment issues, and improve test stability.
- Use SQL queries and joins to validate application data, prepare test data, and verify database-level results using Microsoft SQL Server.
- Use Git for source control, branching, pull requests, code reviews, and collaborative automation development.
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate test case generation, automation script development, debugging, code refactoring, and framework improvements, while validating generated outputs before integration.
- Explore and contribute to modern automation solutions using Playwright with TypeScript and Python where appropriate.
- Collaborate with developers, manual QA engineers, business analysts, and DevOps teams to improve automation coverage and release quality.
- Maintain automation documentation, execution reports, reusable utilities, test data, and framework standards.
