SDET with 2+ years of experience

India

I am a dynamic and result-driven Jr Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience in Quality Assurance and Automation Testing. I have a strong proficiency in Java, Selenium, TestNg, Maven, Jenkins CI, Cucumber, and RestAssured. My expertise lies in writing Test Cases, designing Test Plans, performing cross-browser automation, and creating end-to-end automation frameworks. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive innovation and create impactful solutions.

In my current role at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I have worked on the design and development of an end-to-end framework for a complex web application using Java as the primary programming language. I successfully integrated Selenium WebDriver for precise browser automation, TestNG for comprehensive test management, and Cucumber as a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework to improve collaboration. I implemented the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern, resulting in significantly improved code reusability and maintainability. I have also collaborated with the CI/CD team to integrate the automation suite with Jenkins, facilitating automated testing within the CI/CD pipeline.

As a Software Engineer Trainee, I identified and resolved software defects in a major product release, leading to a 30% reduction in customer-reported issues and contributing to overall satisfaction ratings. I streamlined the testing process by creating and implementing an automated testing framework, resulting in a 40% reduction in manual testing effort. I ensured cross-browser compatibility by executing tests on various browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
