This role focuses on ensuring software quality and functionality through the automation of repetitive testing tasks.

Key Responsibilities:

• Test Automation Strategy & Design:

  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks using Selenium WebDriver and relevant programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, C#).
  • Identify and select appropriate test cases for automation, focusing on regression, functional, and performance testing.
  • Implement various automation frameworks such as data-driven, keyword-driven, hybrid, or BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) frameworks.

• Test Execution & Analysis:

  • Execute automated test suites across different browsers and environments.
  • Analyze test results, identify defects, and report them clearly and concisely.
  • Collaborate with development teams to troubleshoot and resolve identified issues.

• Framework Maintenance & Improvement:
