Nakka Madhavi

I’m a QA Automation Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience in both manual and automation testing, specializing in Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, and Cucumber (BDD). I build end-to-end test coverage for web-based enterprise applications with a strong grasp of SDLC/STLC and Agile/Scrum delivery.

In my previous work, I analyzed BRD, FRS, and user stories to design comprehensive test scenarios and test cases. I created UI automation using Selenium WebDriver with TestNG and Cucumber, including BDD feature files, step definitions, and hooks—while also validating API request/response flows with Postman and Rest Assured.

I’m comfortable owning smoke, sanity, regression, and UAT execution across multiple releases, and I manage the complete defect lifecycle in JIRA. I also integrated automation suites with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines for scheduled regression execution, improving regression efficiency by reducing manual testing effort through automation.

After a planned career break (maternity and personal commitments), I continued upskilling in Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, Cucumber (BDD), and API testing with Rest Assured and Postman, strengthening automation framework design and CI/CD concepts. I’m now fully prepared to rejoin the workforce and contribute as a QA Automation Engineer on complex, high-quality products.
