Responsibilities
Highly skilled and experienced Automation Test Engineer with a strong background in both functional and automation testing of Salesforce applications built using OmniStudio and Lightning Web Components (LWC). The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise with automation tools such as Selenium, Java, Cucumber, Playwright, and AI-based testing tools. The position will play a critical role in ensuring quality across the development lifecycle. This role places a strong emphasis on in-sprint automation, enabling rapid feedback and continuous delivery within Agile teams. Additionally, the position involves API testing for complex insurance applications, using tools like SoapUI and Postman to validate integrations and ensure seamless data flow across systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and reusable automated test scripts for Salesforce applications using tools such as Selenium, Java, Cucumber, and Playwright
- Utilize AI capabilities for self-healing locators, test data generation, and root cause analysis
- Utilize AI-powered testing tools to improve manual and functional testing efficiency by enabling automated test case generation based on business requirements and user workflows, capturing test evidence without manual intervention, auto-generating automation scripts wherever feasible, and intelligently identifying scenarios that require manual execution
- Collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and QA team members to implement in-sprint automation, ensuring test coverage is aligned with sprint goals and delivered within sprint timelines
- Perform manual and functional testing to validate new features, identify edge cases, and ensure comprehensive test coverage where automation is not feasible
- Lead the planning and execution of functional, regression, integration, end-to-end and API testing across multiple platforms and environments
- Develop and execute API test cases using tools like SoapUI and Postman to validate service integrations and data accuracy
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous testing and faster feedback loops
- Analyze test results, identify root causes of failures, and work with development teams to resolve issues efficiently
- Maintain and manage test environments, test data, and automation frameworks to support ongoing testing needs
- Maintain the automation regression suites based on continuous enhancements or new features implemented
- Mentor junior QA engineers and contribute to best practices in test automation and quality assurance
