@vasavinandyala
I test enterprise financial applications and build Java Selenium automation with CI/CD pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I've tested high-stakes financial applications for Tata Consultancy Services supporting PostFinance in Switzerland, helping deliver zero-defect UAT releases across core banking, FX, money markets, and portfolios.
I executed more than 1,000 test cases per sprint and used SOAPUI to validate APIs, including request/response and negative scenarios. My targeted regression work reduced service defects by 35%.
During a three-month onsite UAT engagement in Switzerland, I triaged issues and coordinated fixes with development and business teams. I also mentored more than five junior testers, helping improve team coverage from 75% to 95%.
I'm now building Java Selenium UI automation, reusable test libraries, GitHub-based suites, and Jenkins pipelines with scheduling, notifications, reporting, and Allure/JUnit results.
