• Automate Existing Applications: Review existing application workflows and convert important manual test cases into reliable automated tests.
• Create Reliable Locators: Use XPath and CSS selectors effectively, especially when working with older or complex web applications.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI so tests can run as part of the development and deployment process.
• API and Database Testing: Perform API testing using tools such as Postman or REST Assured and use SQL queries to verify backend data.
• Maintain Stable Tests: Find and fix flaky or unreliable automation scripts and keep the test results consistent.
• Work with the Team: Work closely with developers, product managers, and QA team members to identify the right areas for automation.

• Selenium: Strong hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver and automation frameworks such as Page Object Model.
• Programming: Good knowledge of Java or Python and object-oriented programming concepts.
• SQL: Ability to write SQL queries for data validation and backend testing.
• Git: Hands-on experience with Git and working with source code branches.
• Problem Solving: Ability to troubleshoot automation issues and complete work independently with limited supervision.

Preferred Skills

• Cloud: Experience testing applications hosted in cloud environments such as AWS or Azure.
• Maven: Familiarity with Maven or similar build tools.
