@saiftakrim
I’m a QA Engineer specializing in test automation, APIs, and 508 accessibility compliance.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I bring over 6 years of experience in manual and automation testing for web and backend applications, with a strong focus on reliable, accessible, user-focused software. I analyze BRDs and FRDs to build comprehensive test plans, scenarios, and cases, ensuring clear alignment from requirements to execution.
I develop robust automation frameworks (Data-Driven, Keyword-Driven, and Hybrid) using Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, Maven, and Cucumber. In Agile/Scrum teams, I support sprint planning and UAT alignment, execute regression and data-driven testing, and validate functionality through advanced web element identification and backend SQL checks.
Across roles, I’ve improved quality by validating RESTful APIs with Postman, verifying data integrity, and supporting 508 compliance testing with AXE, WAVE, and NVDA. I track and manage defects in Jira and Mercury Quality Center and maintain traceability matrices to ensure thorough coverage and efficient stakeholder reporting.
