Test Engineer with over 4 years of experience in the software industry, specializing in strategic problem-solving for effective system development. At Cognizant, I have been instrumental in analyzing system and functional specifications, developing test plans, and executing test cases to ensure software performance and reliability. My expertise spans manual and automation testing, with a proven track record in driving quality assurance initiatives and automated testing processes.During my tenure as an Associate at Cognizant, I collaborated on various projects from requirement analysis to post-production in an Agile environment. I played a pivotal role in scrum ceremonies, identified and reported bugs, and collaborated with developers and business analysts to resolve issues. I successfully managed over 130 production deployments, ensuring zero defect leakage into production. Additionally, I prepared comprehensive application documentation and facilitated knowledge transfer to new team members, ensuring continuity and efficiency in project execution. My diligent efforts in functional, system integration, and regression testing resulted in a flawless post-production record.As a Programmer Analyst in my early career, I performed in-sprint automation and maintained a scalable Selenium-based automation framework for regression testing. This framework significantly reduced manual execution time by 76% and achieved 97% automation coverage. My proactive approach in reviewing test scenarios and test cases with stakeholders ensured that all user stories met the acceptance criteria before execution. Starting my career as a Programmer Analyst Trainee, I automated manual test cases using Selenium WebDriver and Java, achieving over 95% improvement in test efficiency. I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University Kerala, where I graduated with a CGPA of 8.41/10. My commitment to continuous learning is demonstrated by my certifications in Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) and Scrum Fundamentals Certified (SFC).With a strong foundation in core Java, Selenium, BDD Cucumber, TestNG, Git, Microsoft Azure, DevOps, Jira, Postman, and CI/CD, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality software solutions. I am passionate about leveraging my skills and experience to contribute to innovative projects and drive excellence in software development and quality assurance.
