Ethesh Gaur

I’m an IT professional with 14+ years of experience, including 10 years in Automation and 5 years in Manual (Functional) Testing. I specialize in functional and automation testing of web and mobile applications across web, mobile, and client/server environments, with a strong focus on accuracy, speed, and reliability.

In my current role as SDET -Lead (Hot Forex Market, Jan 2026 - Present), I’m working on a Forex Trading Platform that handles live market data, user portfolios, trade execution, and risk management. I analyze requirements, prepare query lists, and build from scratch a Cucumber + BDD automation framework using Selenium with Java, using Maven and Page-Object Model for maintainability.

I also lead modern test capabilities end-to-end—API testing with Rest Assured and Postman, and establishing Playwright from scratch with Playwright Test Agents (AI Tool). By leveraging Azure DevOps pipelines and parallel execution, I’ve reduced test execution time by 60% and improved stability by 40% through AI-based self-healing automation.

Previously at Capgemini (QA Lead / Manager, April 2022 - Jan 2026), I led UI to UI comparison initiatives and mobile automation with Appium, handled test planning and case maintenance, and trained the team to build scalable automation frameworks. I led a team of six, guided manual testers into automation, and delivered AI/ML-driven self-healing automation using Healenium—while coordinating closely with client and development teams to resolve testing objectives and blockers.
