Ajay Kumar Sahu

I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing, enhancing, and maintaining UI and API automation frameworks in Agile environments. I focus on building robust test strategies that optimize execution, stabilize frameworks, and strengthen release quality.

At Tata Elxsi, I lead UI automation for enterprise applications using Java, Selenium, and Cucumber, enabling faster regression cycles and more reliable releases. I design and write BDD test scenarios across automation frameworks, maintain and enhance framework infrastructure, and optimized a UI localization framework to reduce execution time by 40% while improving stability. I also integrate automated tests into Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines so teams get continuous validation during deployments.

Previously at Cognizant as an Associate (SDET), I drove extensive API testing using Postman and SoapUI, improved API stability, and strengthened defect traceability in Agile workflows. I developed Spring Boot and ETL applications, wrote RESTful API automation with Java and RestAssured, and supported production with on-call pager assistance to resolve defects and maintain uninterrupted service. I enjoy collaborating with developers and cross-functional teams to prevent defects early and deliver business-efficient, dependable software.
