Summary


With 3.7 years of experience in software testing—both manual and automation—I possess strong analytical and communication skills. I am adept at working independently with minimal supervision while also functioning effectively as part of a team. My expertise includes developing BDD scripts using Cucumber and creating step definitions for behavior testing. I execute test scripts and analyze failed scenarios. Additionally, I contribute to the creation and maintenance of Pojo classes for all project pages, managing locators efficiently. I actively engage with GIT (Remote Repository), pushing and maintaining code on a daily basis. My background includes working in a highly dynamic AGILE environment, actively participating in scrum and sprint ceremonies. I thoroughly understand application requirements and functional specifications.
