Responsibilities:

• The latest initiative was an outcome of the Credit Card Company's new partnership with a US-based Investment Firm to provide specific Loyalty bonus to Card members based on their investment portfolio at the Investment firm.
• I am the Automation Engineer in my Scrum Team. I hold the responsibility for Sprint Testing Automation, Overall Release Testing & Performance Testing for the Initiative.
• I have developed Java-based REST API Automation Testing framework to test the REST APIs developed as part of the project using HTTP Client and leveraging JUnit/TestNG test frameworks. It is a re-usable solution and being also used by other teams in my portfolio.
• I have also created Selenium Automation suite using Selenium Webdriver with Java and TestNG Tests for UI Automation for the initiative. The Selenium Tests are integrated with SauceLabs through Jenkins and piped into CD/CI pipeline using XL Release tool.
• Using CA LISA, I have also virtualized the two REST Services that interact with the External Systems for Data Enrichment. Early Virtualization allows TDD and eliminates the dependency on external systems readiness during Sprint and Release Testing.
• Attended Release Planning sessions in the beginning of the each Program Increment of Agile Scrum Development Framework.
• Regularly meet with Product Owner and help in defining the User Stories in JIRA by leveraging my extensive experience in the Portfolio.
• Sprint Planning - Defined tasks for each User Story based on the Acceptance Criteria agreed with the Product Owner.
• Attended Daily Scrum Meetings - to provide and receive the status of daily tasks among Scrum team members.

• Coordinating with E2E Test Team for upstream and downstream data requirements.
• Perform Post Install Validation (PIV) for the project.
• Developed Java-Spring Batch Test Automation Framework using Selenium Java with TestNG/JUnit Unit Testing Framework. The Spring Batch automation framework is integrated with Jenkins; and embedded Selenium Tests run on SauceLabs. SauceLabs servers allow Selenium Tests to run on multiple browsers and OSs. Jenkins build is piped into Project CD/CI Pipeline using XL Release (XL Release is a CD/CI Tool used in my portfolio).
• Developed Automation Test Suite for REST APIs using SoapUI Jenkins XL Release.
• Virtualized Rest APIs using LISA Jenkins—XL Release.
• Performed Automated UI Testing (Selenium Scripts) by enhancing the scripts developed by me in earlier initiative.
• Performed Automated Sprint testing for each of the user stories taken by each of the developers in the scrum team.
• Performed Release Testing and Performace Testing for the project as a whole.
• Defined Tasks for each user stories, testing related.
• Defined Test approach, Test dependencies, Test data, Test Cases, Test data Scenarios.
• Provided Valuable inputs to the business team for enhancement of the existing application.
• Knowledge transfer to the peers about customization and maintenance of automation test cases and configuration file.
• Coordinating with E2E Test Team for upstream and downstream data requirements.
• Built Efficient, reusable and accurate Hybrid (Keyword + Data driven) Automation Framework using UFT/QTP.
• Identified the test cases to be automated and performed data driven testing and GUI Check Points using QTP and enhanced the overall functionality of the application.
• Reusable scripts are built using Descriptive Programming.
• Created reusable user defined functions and stored them as function libraries (.qfl files)
• Maintained and updated the scripts for every release either by updating the object property value for a specific object or by adding new objects to object repository.
