I am a highly analytical and adaptable QA professional with over 10 years of experience spanning government, financial, and retail sectors. I specialize in QA across all phases of the SDLC and STLC, including test planning, defect identification, and ensuring the overall integrity and functionality of software applications. I have a tertiary qualification in QA, with strong experience in documenting test plans, test scenarios, test cases for manual execution and test scripts for automation, and test artifacts (sprint and monthly test summaries). My testing repertoire includes Smoke, Sanity, UAT, Regression, and Integration testing. I am proficient with Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, Maven, Cucumber, and POM frameworks, and I collaborate well in cross-functional teams, communicating clearly with stakeholders and paying close attention to detail. I also have experience with building automation, API testing (Postman, SoapUI, ReadyAPI), web services, and DB testing (SQL) across Oracle and SQL Server, along with Agile Scrum ceremonies.
