Full Description

Purpose of the Position The Mid-Level Automation Tester is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining automated test solutions for web-based applications. The role involves implementing robust automation frameworks, executing manual and automated test cases, and ensuring consistent software quality across the delivery lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities Automation and Test Delivery Design, develop, and execute automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver and related frameworks (e.g., TestNG, JUnit, Cucumber). Enhance and maintain automation frameworks and reusable components to support continuous testing. Participate in agile ceremonies (planning, refinement, retrospectives) and contribute to sprint deliverables. Analyze test results, document defects, and work closely with developers to ensure timely resolution. Develop and maintain manual test cases for scenarios not suitable for automation. Contribute to CI/CD automation pipelines by integrating tests with build tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins). Collaborate with developers, business analysts, and QA peers to ensure optimal test coverage. Participate in regression, smoke, functional, and integration testing cycles. Generate and manage test data, environments, and configurations. Ensure test activities comply with QA standards, methodologies, and documentation practices.

Technical Skills Hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver for web automation. Strong proficiency with Java or JavaScript as a scripting language. Good understanding of test frameworks such as JUnit 5, TestNG, or Cucumber (BDD). Basic experience with API testing tools (e.g., Postman, REST Assured). Familiarity with performance testing tools (JMeter, Locust) is an advantage. Understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins). Basic SQL skills for data validation and backend verification. Exposure to cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure) and test environment management. Awareness of monitoring and observability tools (Dynatrace, AppDynamics, New Relic).

Core Competencies Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills. Ability to work independently on assigned test automation tasks. Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and testing processes (STLC). Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in test execution and reporting. Good communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly. Proactive in identifying opportunities to improve automation coverage and efficiency. Team player with strong collaboration and problem-solving mindset.

Experience 3–5 years of total software testing experience. Minimum 2 years of experience in test automation using Selenium. Hands-on experience with test framework development and automation lifecycle management. Exposure to both manual and automated testing in agile delivery environments. Experience in testing web applications across multiple browsers and platforms.

Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent. ISTQB Foundation Level Certification (Advanced Level preferred). Certifications in Selenium, Test Automation, or Agile Testing are advantageous.
