PURUSHOTHAMAN J
@purushothamanj
Automation-focused Software Test Engineer specializing in Selenium, APIs, and mobile testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Test Engineer with 4.10 years of experience across Manual Testing, Automation Testing, API Testing, and Mobile Application Testing in Agile projects. I focus on turning business requirements into reliable, repeatable test coverage that teams can trust.
I build scalable automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver, Java, Cucumber BDD, TestNG, and Maven, improving script reusability, maintainability, and execution efficiency. On AXA Polaris, I designed and managed POJO classes for dynamic test data and implemented CI/CD pipeline integration using Jenkins for continuous automated test execution.
I strengthen quality through API and mobile automation as well—validating status codes, headers, request/response payloads, and JSON schemas with RestAssured and Postman. For mobile, I use Appium for Android and iOS with real-device execution via BrowserStack, and I develop end-to-end automated tests using Playwright with JavaScript to improve coverage and reduce manual effort.
I’ve worked across Functional, Regression, Integration, Smoke, and End-to-End Testing, and I consistently participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming. I manage defect tracking and requirement traceability with JIRA, while preparing test scenarios, test cases, and test data to identify edge cases early through close collaboration with developers, product owners, and stakeholders.
