Project: Wickes• Played a key role in manual testing of web applications, ensuring that new features and functionalities met the expected business requirements and maintained a high level of quality. This included exploratory testing to cover edge cases and usability scenarios.• Developed and executed test scripts using Selenium WebDriver, automating critical regression and functional test cases to improve testing efficiency and reduce manual testing time. This approach significantly enhanced test coverage and identified defects early in the development cycle.• Utilized BDD with Cucumber to create clear and concise test scenarios in Gherkin syntax, which facilitated better communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders. This approach helped ensure that automated tests were aligned with business expectations.• Conducted extensive API testing using Postman, validating the functionality, reliability, and security of API endpoints. This involved creating detailed test cases for various API requests and responses, ensuring robust integration between different system components.• Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams, including developers and product owners, to understand requirements, identify testing needs, and provide feedback on test results. This collaboration ensured comprehensive test coverage and supported a shared understanding of quality objectives.
