Drive and maintain the test strategy within the Agile team to improve test coverage and release confidence. Test a social networking Android app focused on user engagement and content sharing. Design and execute test cases for key user flows using structured test design techniques. Maintain testware (test plans, cases, scripts) aligned with evolving requirements. Perform risk-based testing to prioritize critical areas enabling focused coverage and faster release cycles. Provide actionable quality insights and release-readiness recommendations, contributing to a reduction of production defects through early defect detection. Communicate and influence stakeholders on quality risks, priorities, and release decisions; collaborate early with developers and product owners to shift-left testing; guide team members on testing practices to raise overall quality awareness.

Manual testing to validate functional and system behaviors; designed and executed test cases for functional, integration, and system testing; developed and implemented automated test scripts; collaborated with backend developers to identify, reproduce, and resolve bugs; participated in code reviews; documented test results and defects with traceability; contributed to process improvements to enhance testing workflows.

Delivered QA for enterprise web applications in an Agile team of 5–8. Designed and executed manual and automated tests across multiple releases. Built and maintained automation frameworks using Selenium, Java, and Cucumber. Contributed to test strategy and coverage with risk-based analysis. Applied structured test design techniques (boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning) to create effective test cases and improve defect detection in critical scenarios. Maintained testware across release cycles and mentored team members. Practiced shift-left testing by collaborating early with developers and business stakeholders to identify defects in initial development stages. Integrated tests into CI/CD, reducing execution time by ~30%. Reported defects, risks, and quality metrics, improving detection rate by ~25%.
