Expected / Required skill set:
- Design and lead the implementation of robust, scalable automation frameworks using Selenium and Python, tailored for web, mobile, and IoT platforms.
- Architect modular, reusable, and data-driven test automation solutions using frameworks such as PyTest, unittest, or Robot Framework.
- Implement and manage comprehensive automation strategies for mobile application testing using Appium, incorporating hybrid, native, and webview testing methodologies across Android and iOS platforms.
- Develop custom logging and reporting mechanisms, including HTML reports, logfile parsing, and test dashboards to ensure clear visibility of test results and trends.
- Collaborate with development and product teams to define and implement automation roadmaps, test strategies, and risk-based test plans aligned with release cycles.
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI), and ensure seamless test execution across staging and production environments.
- Conduct API testing and validation using Postman and REST Assured, with a focus on integration, contract testing, and backend verification.
- Incorporate performance testing techniques using tools such as JMeter or Locust, to identify bottlenecks and validate system scalability under load.
- Drive security-focused test cases, including input validation, authentication flows, and vulnerability coverage as part of the automation strategy.
- Perform test coverage analysis, track test effectiveness metrics, and proactively identify opportunities to optimize the regression test suite for efficiency and accuracy.
- Lead the troubleshooting and root cause analysis of test failures, using detailed log reviews and cross-functional collaboration to ensure quick defect resolution.
- Conduct code reviews for automation test scripts, and promote best practices in automation design, test data management, and version control.
- Actively participate in Agile ceremonies daily standups, sprint planning, grooming, and retrospectives and contribute to story estimation and test case alignment with acceptance criteria.
Cloud-Based Automation Testing Responsibilities:
- Implement and manage cloud-based test execution using platforms such as BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or AWS Device Farm for cross-browser and cross-device testing.
- Integrate cloud-based testing platforms into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) to enable parallel, distributed test execution and reduce feedback cycles.
- Configure and maintain test environments in the cloud, ensuring consistent, scalable, and cost-effective automation infrastructure.
- Utilize virtual machines, containers, or cloud device grids to simulate real-world testing conditions across various browsers, OS versions, and mobile devices.
- Monitor and analyze test results from cloud platforms, integrating them with reporting tools and dashboards for visibility across teams.
- Leverage cloud analytics and logs to debug flaky tests, diagnose failures, and optimize test performance.
- Ensure secure handling of credentials, test data, and access control when working in cloud-based environments.
Simulator, Emulator, and Real IoT Device Testing Responsibilities:
- Design and execute automated test cases on simulators and emulators to validate mobile and IoT application behaviour in controlled virtual environments.
- Set up and maintain emulator/simulator environments for Android (AVD) and iOS (Xcode Simulator) to support continuous integration and rapid testing workflows.
- Conduct functional, integration, and connectivity testing on real IoT devices, verifying device-to-cloud communication, data transmission, and sensor interactions.
- Validate performance, responsiveness, and reliability of IoT applications across simulated environments and actual hardware to ensure consistency and robustness.
- Develop test scripts that adapt to both virtual environments and physical devices, optimizing for reuse and minimal maintenance overhead.
- Capture and analyse device logs, telemetry data, and network traffic to identify issues during real device testing.
- Coordinate with hardware teams and device labs to schedule and manage real device test execution, especially for firmware updates and over-the-air (OTA) scenarios.
- Compare results between simulated/emulated and real device runs to detect environment-specific defects or performance gaps.
- Ensure test cases account for device-specific limitations, connectivity variations (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, , etc)
