@njabulokubheka
ISTQB-certified automation test engineer driving CI/CD quality in banking, specializing in Java, Selenium, and API testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ISTQB-certified Automation QA Engineer with 4+ years of Test Automation experience delivering high-quality software in the banking sector, including card payments and digital banking systems. I focus on improving test coverage and execution efficiency through practical automation and strong test design.
Currently, I act as a Test Lead (Acting), coordinating QA efforts across cross-functional teams while managing defects and helping ensure stable releases. I lead test planning and execution activities, align QA work with developers, BAs, and stakeholders, and facilitate defect triage so critical issues get resolved quickly.
In my recent work, I’ve built and maintained automation across multiple banking streams, using Java with Cucumber and REST Assured for API verification, plus CI/CD integration with Azure Pipelines. I also work with tools like Postman, Allure Reports, Azure Dashboards, Jira XRay, and Extent Reports to keep reporting clear and traceability tight.
Earlier roles strengthened my breadth across web, desktop, and functional testing, including Selenium/Java front-end automation, Robot Framework with Python, Winium/WinApp, and UFT script maintenance. I’m passionate about driving quality, automation maturity, and continuous improvement—so teams can ship with confidence.
