I have a strong background in software testing with 8+ years of hands-on experience in both manual and automation testing. I started my career as a manual tester, where I gained deep understanding of SDLC, STLC, writing test cases, executing test scenarios, and defect lifecycle management using tools like JIRA and Bugzilla.

Over time, I transitioned into automation testing. I have extensively worked with Selenium WebDriver using Java, and built robust frameworks using TestNG, Page Object Model (POM), Maven, and Extent Reports for generating reports. I'm also familiar with using Git for version control and Jenkins for continuous integration and test execution.

In terms of API testing, I have worked with Postman and REST Assured, where I performed validations of RESTful services including status codes, response bodies, and schema validation. I have also written automation scripts for API regression testing.

I’m comfortable working in Agile environments and have collaborated closely with developers, BAs, and other QA team members to ensure high-quality deliverables. I’m also constantly upskilling and staying current with new tools and practices in the QA domain.
