As a Test Consultant, I implemented the STAR approach to build a comprehensive Test Strategy. The strategy was designed to cut across Agile implementation, Automation framework assessment, Test Data management, and Dev-ops recommendation.The STAR approach was implemented as follows:• Situation: I assessed the current testing process and identified areas for improvement.• Task: I built a comprehensive Test Strategy that addressed the identified areas of improvement.• Action: I implemented the Test Strategy by collaborating with the team and ensuring that all team members were aligned with the testing goals.• Result: The Test Strategy document was a valuable resource for the team as it helped them to achieve their testing goals in an efficient and effective manner.The Test Strategy document included a detailed description of the testing approach, including the testing methodology, test types, and test levels. It also included a comprehensive list of testing tools and technologies that were used to support the testing process. The document provided a detailed description of the test environment, including hardware, software, and network configurations. Additionally, it included a detailed description of the test data management process, including data generation, data masking, and data archiving. The automation framework assessment process was also described in detail, including tool selection, script development, and execution. Finally, DevOps recommendations were added into the strategy document.

Currently, I am managing testing governance process to ensure that all testing adheres to required process/quality standards. As a part of my duties, I am configuring all pipelines on docker containers for execution process, while defining strategy documents for communication with stakeholders informing all about project progress. It is worth mentioning that I deliver accurate and timely reporting to leadership for informed decision-making. I also identify, manage, and mitigate risks by executing best practices.My Success is evidenced below:• Maximised efficiency of testing deliverables by 90% while implementing test management methodologies and developing effective communication within IT division.• Executed CI/CD pipeline strategy across APIs, UI, and batch processing using GitLab tools and Selenium that allowed more frequent and automated testing, resulting in faster feedback and quicker resolution of complex issues.• Advised executive leadership team on strategic delivery breaks for more agile delivery and accomplishing set goals.• Enabled organisation to achieve faster and more agile delivery of products and services.

Executed Agile practices and contributed to TESTA Entries in European Test forums, that got recognised and awarded.Here, I was hired for testing a wide range of applications, including client web applications, mobile native applications, public site web pages, web API testing, and SharePoint Intranet. My responsibilities include collaborating with various high-profile clients, including Lloyds Banking Group, FSCS, FOS, and Close Brothers, facilitating with quality management initiatives. It was me who led automation initiatives as part of Agile implementation while delivering detailed direction to technical teams towards automation strategies using different tools, such as Cucumber and Specflow. I was trusted to leverage test automation for quality improvement, coverage increment, and faster-to-market delivery. I have steered procurement and strategic selection of mobility solutions, such as AWS Device Farm, Perfecto, and BrowserStack for digital mobile testing services. I also managed diverse initiatives, including mobile application testing, web application testing, API testing, end-to-end testing, regression testing, accessibility, and compatibility testing.My Key Accomplishments are:● Stayed up-to-date with industry standards and emerging technologies as well as advised for cost-effective delivery models.● Drove continual improvement in processes, technologies, and tooling.● Deployed DevOps model in web application delivery through automation using Selenium, pipeline creation, unit test, regression test, and live health check scripts.
