About

As an IT Engineer with 3.5+ years of experience and a Master's in Computer Applications from JECRC University, I have built a strong foundation in Manual Testing, Quality Assurance (QA), and Software Engineering. My passion lies in ensuring software quality through meticulous testing, identifying critical defects, and delivering reliable, user-centric solutions that meet both business and customer expectations. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive hands-on experience in manual testing across the complete Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC). I have been actively involved in requirement analysis, test planning, test case design, test execution, defect identification and logging, retesting, regression testing, and test reporting. My expertise includes validating complex business workflows, performing exploratory testing, conducting end-to-end system testing, and ensuring application quality from both functional and user perspectives. I have worked across multiple testing phases, including functional, regression, system, integration, user acceptance support (UAT), and exploratory testing, with a strong focus on uncovering edge cases and ensuring seamless user experiences. My analytical approach and attention to detail have enabled me to identify high-impact defects early in the development cycle, contributing to improved product quality and faster release timelines. In addition to manual testing, I have hands-on experience with various testing and quality management tools, including API Testing tools, MySQL for Database Testing, TestLink for Test Case and Test Management, and Jira for Defect Tracking and Project Management. I collaborate closely with developers, business analysts, and stakeholders to ensure requirements are accurately validated and delivered with the highest quality standards. My combination of strong manual testing expertise, problem-solving skills, and commitment to quality enables me to consistently contribute to successful software deliveries and continuous process improvement initiatives.

Quality Assurance Engineer

E-Connect Solution Software

Sep 2024 - Present

Analysed government business requirements and functional specifications to build risk-based test plans covering functional, integration, regression, system and UAT phases with 100% requirement traceability. Designed, reviewed and executed detailed manual and functional test cases across HRMS payroll, employee-lifecycle workflows, material procurement and financial accounting modules. Performed API testing using Postman and SoapUI on REST endpoints — validating request/response flows, HTTP status codes, JSON payloads, error handling and data integrity for banking and government-portal integrations. Executed database testing with SQL queries and application log analysis to verify data integrity, audit trails and compliance reporting, and to root-cause defects. Ran smoke testing for build validation after each deployment and regression testing after fixes and configuration changes, maintaining a 98% test-case pass rate. Built automated UI scripts with Playwright (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) for critical workflows, complementing the manual suite. Owned the full defect lifecycle in JIRA — reproduction steps, severity/priority and business-impact analysis — and authored test plans, RTMs, release notes and QA dashboards for management and government audit reviews. Participated in Agile ceremonies (daily scrums, sprint planning, retrospectives) and mentored junior testers on ERP domain and QA best practices.
