Deloitte India (Offices of the US) | Dec 2018 - May 2022

Consultant

My core responsibility as a Test Automation Engineer is to develop, implement, and maintain test automation frameworks. These frameworks allow repetitive and complex test cases to be automated, increasing testing efficiency and reducing the risk of human error. Wrote, debugged, and executed automated test scripts using automation tools and scripting languages which are used to simulate user actions and validate the functionality of software applications. Worked closely with the DevOps team to integrate automated tests into the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. This allows automated tests to run at every stage of the software development lifecycle, ensuring that any bugs or issues are identified and addressed as early as possible. I collaborated closely with software developers and Quality Assurance (QA) teams to understand the application's functionalities and identify what needs to be tested. This collaboration is crucial for creating effective test cases and scripts. I managed test data and test environments to ensure that tests ran under consistent and controlled conditions. This involved setting up test databases, configuring hardware, and managing virtual environments. I was responsible for reporting and documenting test results. I analyzed test results to identify trends and patterns, and report these findings to the development team and other stakeholders. This helped in the early detection of bugs and facilitates their timely resolution. Stayed up-to-date with the latest technologies, methodologies, and tools which involved continuous learning and pursuing relevant certifications.

Executed API tests, which involved sending different types of requests (like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to the API and validating the responses. They also verify the API's response time, error codes, and other aspects of its performance. Validated the data returned by the API and also checked the data's structure, type, and values to ensure it matches the expected results. Often automated API tests. Used various tools like SoapUI and Postman and frameworks to automate the execution of API test cases and the validation of API responses. Worked closely with the software development team to understand the API's functionality and to report any bugs or issues they find during testing. Documented test cases, test results, and any bugs found. Reported on the API's performance and reliability to the development team and other stakeholders. Stayed up-to-date with the latest API testing tools, methodologies, and best practices.
