Key ResponsibilitiesTest Strategy & Design
- Develop and maintain detailed test plans, test cases, and test scenarios aligned with functional and non-functional requirements.
- Prioritize testing efforts based on risk assessment and business impact.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure complete requirement coverage before testing begins.
- Use AI tools to auto-generate test cases, edge cases, and boundary conditions from user stories and specifications.
API & Backend Testing
- Conduct thorough functional, integration, and regression testing on RESTful APIs using tools like Postman or Swagger.
- Validate backend data accuracy and integrity through well-structured SQL queries including joins and aggregations.
- Identify and document API contract violations and data inconsistencies across environments.
Automation Development
- Design, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks using Python, Pytest, or Playwright.
- Embed automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous quality checks.
- Continuously refactor and improve automation scripts to reduce flakiness and maintenance effort.
- Use AI copilot tools to accelerate test script authoring and maintenance.
AI-Augmented Testing
- Actively use AI tools to generate test cases, identify coverage gaps, and speed up exploratory testing.
- Apply AI-driven insights to detect recurring defect patterns and prevent quality regressions across releases.
