Automation Tester

web applications

What Youll Do

• Own test automation:

  Design, build, and maintain

  TypeScript

  -based UI & API automation frameworks (modular, reusable, and scalable).

• UI automation:

  Create robust end-to-end and component tests for web apps (Playwright/Cypress/WebdriverIO or similar).

• API automation:

  Build REST test suites (e.g., SuperTest/axios + Jest/Mocha), validate payloads, schemas, status codes, and edge cases.

• Integration & contract testing:

  Verify microservice integrations; implement consumer-driven contract tests (e.g., Pact).

• Quality gates in CI/CD:

  Integrate tests into pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins/Azure DevOps) with parallelization, flake control, and quality thresholds.

• Test data & environments:

  Manage test data strategies, mocks/stubs, and service virtualization where needed.

• Shift-left quality:

  Participate in grooming/design reviews, define acceptance criteria, and enable developers to add tests.

• Defect management & reporting:

  Triage issues, analyze root causes, and publish clear quality dashboards/metrics.

• Non-functional hooks:

  Collaborate on performance (k6/Gatling) and basic security checks (OWASP top 10 awareness).

• Documentation & mentorship:

  Document frameworks, patterns, and practices; mentor peers on automation best practices.
