Software test Engineer

As a Software Test Engineer, I was responsible for ensuring end-to-end software quality across enterprise-grade web applications by applying structured testing methodologies, strong domain expertise, and advanced automation practices. My role covered the complete Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), including requirement analysis, test planning, manual and automation test execution, defect management, regression testing, and release validation. I consistently aligned testing activities with business objectives, system architecture, and customer expectations to deliver stable, scalable, and high-performing applications while minimizing production risks and supporting faster release cycles. I actively participated in requirement analysis by reviewing BRDs, FRDs, technical documents, and Agile user stories to understand business workflows, functional dependencies, and integration points. I collaborated closely with business analysts, product owners, developers, and QA leads during requirement walkthroughs, sprint planning, and backlog grooming to clarify ambiguities, identify testable requirements, and assess risk areas. Based on these inputs, I derived comprehensive test scenarios covering positive, negative, boundary, and edge cases, ensuring thorough functional and non-functional coverage across releases. I was extensively involved in manual testing across multiple domains, including e-commerce and healthcare applications. My responsibilities included designing and executing detailed manual test cases for complex workflows such as user registration, authentication, product search, cart management, checkout, payment processing, order management, and returns. In healthcare systems, I validated patient registration, appointment scheduling, EMR/EHR workflows, billing, and insurance claims processing. I executed smoke, sanity, and full regression testing cycles to ensure system stability following enhancements, bug fixes, and deployments. I performed detailed UI and usability testing to validate layout consistency, responsiveness, and user experience across browsers and devices. I ensured accuracy of dynamic UI elements, dashboards, forms, filters, reports, alerts, and notifications. I also performed extensive data validation by verifying pricing, discounts, taxes, billing calculations, refunds, and backend data consistency using SQL queries. In parallel, I played a key role in automation testing using Playwright by designing and maintaining scalable frameworks based on Page Object Model (POM), BDD, Data-Driven, and Hybrid approaches. I automated critical business flows such as user onboarding, product search, cart operations, checkout, payments, and order validation. I leveraged Playwright features including auto-waiting, parallel execution, network interception, screenshots, videos, and trace viewer to ensure reliable execution and faster debugging. I conducted cross-browser testing across Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, Chrome, and Edge to ensure consistent behavior and performance across environments. I also performed REST API testing using Postman and Playwright APIRequestContext to validate backend services, integrations, and data flow between systems. I designed and executed regression suites integrated with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub, ensuring continuous testing and early defect detection. Defect management was a core responsibility, where I logged and tracked issues in JIRA with detailed reproduction steps, screenshots, logs, and traces. I collaborated with developers on root cause analysis, participated in defect triage, and ensured timely retesting and validation of fixes. I worked closely within Agile Scrum teams, actively participating in all ceremonies and providing clear visibility into testing progress, risks, and quality metrics. Supported DevOps by integrating automation into CI/CD, generating Allure reports,enabling Docker execution,monitoring AWS,ensuring healthcare compliance,and delivering high-quality.

At Lucky Yarn Tex Pvt Ltd, I worked as a Test Engineer where I was responsible for performing comprehensive end-to-end manual testing along with Playwright-based automation for textile and manufacturing web applications. My role involved validating critical business functionalities such as product catalogs, fabric collections, order management, inventory tracking, production workflows, pricing modules, and customer account management to ensure seamless operations and business continuity. I actively designed, developed, and maintained a robust automation framework using Playwright with JavaScript, implementing the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern, reusable components, and centralized configurations to support scalable and maintainable automation across multiple modules. I derived detailed test scenarios by analyzing BRD, FRD, and user stories, ensuring complete coverage of positive, negative, and edge cases aligned with domain-specific business rules. I executed both manual and automated functional testing for key workflows including product listings, fabric specifications, bulk order placements, order confirmations, dispatch tracking, and invoice generation, ensuring high accuracy across the application. Additionally, I automated critical user journeys such as product search and filtering, order creation, pricing validation, inventory availability checks, order status tracking, and reporting dashboards, while also conducting exploratory testing to identify complex defects in production workflows. I played a key role in validating high-volume and concurrent scenarios such as bulk order processing, simultaneous user transactions, real-time inventory synchronization, batch production uploads, and end-of-day reconciliation processes. I implemented data-driven testing strategies using dynamic datasets including product SKUs, fabric types, pricing slabs, quantities, delivery timelines, and customer profiles to simulate real-world business conditions. My responsibilities also included API testing using Playwright APIRequestContext and Postman, where I validated backend services related to order management, inventory, pricing, and customer data, ensuring data consistency between frontend and backend systems. I performed cross-browser testing using Playwright across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, along with manual validation on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge to ensure consistent UI behavior, responsiveness, and usability of the application. For debugging and failure analysis, I utilized Playwright Trace Viewer, logs, and screenshots to identify issues and improve test stability. I was also responsible for defect management using JIRA, where I logged detailed bugs with proper reproduction steps, severity, screenshots, and business impact, and verified fixes through both manual retesting and automation reruns. Furthermore, I integrated automation test suites into CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions, enabling continuous testing and faster feedback cycles. In an Agile environment, I actively participated in sprint planning, backlog grooming, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives, providing updates on testing progress, defect status, risks, and quality improvements. I collaborated closely with developers, business analysts, product owners, and QA teams to align testing strategies with real-world textile manufacturing and supply chain workflows. Overall, I contributed significantly to improving product quality, reducing manual effort through automation, and ensuring reliable and efficient release cycles in a fast-paced manufacturing domain.
