  • Leverage tools like Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, MABL, and REST Assured for automation coverage.
  • Integrate test automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps).
  • Explore and implement AI-driven testing approaches, including autonomous test case generation and defect detection using GenAI.
  • Research and apply Agentic AI frameworks to automate multi-step test workflows and self-healing test systems.
  • Perform API testing (Postman, SOAP UI, REST Assured) and database validation using SQL/NoSQL queries.
  • Conduct performance and load testing with JMeter, Gatling, or Locust.
  • Partner with developers to adopt shift-left testing practices and ensure testability of applications.
  • Debug issues, conduct root cause analysis, and contribute fixes where appropriate.
  • Continuously enhance automation coverage and optimize execution efficiency.
