Sumaiya Shaikh
@sumaiyashaikh1
Quality Assurance Engineer specializing in Java/Python automation and CI/CD testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Quality Engineer with 5+ years designing automation frameworks and harnesses across functional, integration, regression, performance, and end-to-end testing. I’m strong in Java and Python, with a focus on CI/CD-integrated execution, defect triage, and root-cause analysis.
At William O’Neil India, I designed and scaled a Java + Selenium WebDriver automation framework using the Page Object Model, growing it to 100+ scripts for a financial research platform. I integrated the suite into a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline, reducing manual testing effort by 30% and improving feedback speed on every build.
I execute 3,000+ test cases across functional, regression, integration, and UAT cycles, translating product requirements into comprehensive test plans with developers, PMs, and business stakeholders. I parallelize execution with TestNG and Selenium Grid to cut runtime by 40%, and I build lightweight reporting harnesses on top of TestNG / ExtentReports to streamline triage and results sharing.
I also own performance, load, and reliability checks on key APIs and UI flows—investigating latency and resource-utilization issues and driving root-cause analysis with engineering. As the quality DRI for release windows, I monitor builds and services for degradation, alert stakeholders to regressions, and coordinate fixes to restore service quickly.
