Ashritha Rao

I am a QA Automation Engineer with over four years of hands-on experience in functional and automation testing across healthcare and banking domains. I design and maintain robust test automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, Cucumber, and Appium to improve coverage and reduce manual effort.

At Accenture, I engineered automation frameworks for Cigna Healthcare and PNC Bank, automated UI, mobile and database test cases, and integrated tests into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. I execute functional, regression, end-to-end, accessibility, and cross-browser testing while reporting defects through Jira.

I collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and business analysts to enable in-sprint automation, create effective test plans, and identify opportunities to scale frameworks and improve QA practices. I also have experience with Python for scripting and mobile testing using Appium.

I am familiar with cloud and DevOps tooling—AWS services, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Maven, and Git—which helps me integrate testing into modern delivery pipelines and support reliable, automated deployments.
