- Focus on creating solutions that are efficient and easy to maintain.

- Develop, execute, and maintain automated test scripts for web applications using Selenium with programming languages like Java, Python, or C#.

- Automate functional, regression, and smoke tests.

- Proficiently test RESTful APIs using tools like Postman, REST Assured, SoapUI, or other similar tools.

- Create and manage test cases for APIs and ensure comprehensive test coverage of backend services.

- Integrate test automation scripts with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps.

- Ensure automated tests are executed as part of the build and deployment process.

- Regularly update and maintain automated test scripts to ensure that they continue to work as expected as the product evolves.

- Collaborate with developers, product managers, and other QA engineers to understand requirements, provide testing estimates, and ensure testing meets the defined quality standards.

- Provide detailed reports on test results, coverage, and any issues found.

- Investigate and debug failed test cases, identify root causes, and work with the development team to resolve issues.

- Analyze and troubleshoot test failures and provide feedback to improve the quality of the software.

- (Optional, if applicable) Assist with performance testing efforts using tools like JMeter or LoadRunner to ensure that applications can handle expected loads and provide recommendations for improvements.

- Create detailed test plans, test cases, and test documentation.

- Ensure that all aspects of the test automation process are well-documented, including methodologies, frameworks, and tools used.

- Stay up-to-date with the latest testing trends, technologies, and best practices.

- Continuously improve testing processes to increase efficiency and effectiveness.

Required Skills & Qualifications :

- Strong hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver for automating web-based applications.

- Experience in creating and maintaining test automation scripts for functional and regression testing.

- Proficient in testing RESTful APIs using tools such as Postman, REST Assured, SoapUI, or similar tools.

- Ability to write test scripts to validate API responses and handle various types of requests.

- Proficient in one or more programming languages, such as Java, Python, or C#, to write and maintain automation scripts.

- Experience with scripting languages is an advantage.

- Familiarity with integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab, or Azure DevOps.

- Understanding of how automation fits into the software development lifecycle.

- Experience with version control systems like Git, and working in a collaborative environment using GitHub, GitLab, or similar platforms.

- Solid experience in working with testing frameworks such as TestNG, JUnit, or other similar frameworks to structure and organize test cases and improve test execution efficiency.

- Strong ability to debug test failures and identify issues in scripts or application code.

- Knowledge of debugging tools and techniques to troubleshoot issues effectively.

- Keen eye for detail, ensuring test coverage is thorough and identifying even the smallest bugs or performance issues.

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly document test cases, issues, and report findings to development teams and stakeholders.

- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience)
