Muskan Behera

Led QA strategy for 10+ product releases, coordinating a 15-member QA team to execute end-to-end test cycles, reducing post-production defects by 25% and increasing release confidence across engineering and product teams. Managed and mentored offshore QA engineers, overseeing on-time task delegation, test coverage alignment, and quality standards across distributed time zones. Partnered cross-functionally with engineering and product leadership to define release criteria, drive automation initiatives, and scale QA practices across growing product lines.

Authored and maintained 500+ test cases and 30+ regression suites in TestRail, improving requirement-to-test traceability by 40% and reducing test coverage gaps across key product areas. Conducted backend API validation using Postman, improving API reliability and reducing API-related defects by 30% through enhanced functional, integration, and data-integrity testing. Executed performance and load testing using JMeter, identifying bottlenecks that improved system throughput by 15% and reduced average response time by 20% after partnering with engineering teams on optimization.

Established end-to-end QA processes as the first QA hire, defining test strategies, documentation standards, and release criteria that reduced testing cycle ambiguity by 40% and accelerated onboarding for new QA contributors. Built a scalable, reusable regression testing framework, cutting post-release defects by 30% and improving overall release stability, enabling the engineering team to deploy features with higher confidence.
