Nachiket Patel

I am a proactive Software Quality Assurance Engineer with two years of hands-on experience in manual and automation testing for web and mobile applications. I focus on improving QA processes, cross-team collaboration, and delivering high-quality software.

In my role I designed and maintained automated test scripts using Selenium, Playwright, and KatalonStudio, which increased test coverage and reduced manual testing efforts by 30%. I also implemented cross-browser testing with Playwright to ensure reliability across Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

I have conducted API testing with Postman and automated validations using Rest Assured, strengthening backend service reliability and integrations. I authored and executed test plans, regression cycles, and reports to ensure traceability with business requirements across multiple releases.

I collaborate closely with developers during defect triage to accelerate bug resolution (improving timelines by 25%), contribute to Agile/Scrum ceremonies, and mentor junior QA engineers on automation frameworks and defect tracking.
