Implement cross-browser and responsive testing strategies. Build and manage test data generation utilities.
Testing Across the Stack
Execute functional, regression, smoke, sanity, integration, and E2E tests. Perform non-functional testing: performance, security, and usability where required. Support mobile automation using Appium or relevant tools (if applicable).
Continuous Integration & Delivery (CI/CD)
Integrate automated test suites with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, CircleCI. Enable shift-left testing by integrating with build and deployment pipelines.
Test Infrastructure & DevOps Collaboration
