Work Experience

E-Commerce Website Testing

SauceDemo

Jan 2024 - Jan 2024

Analyzed the e-commerce platform to understand user workflows across Login, Products, Cart, and Checkout modules — identifying testable scenarios from both functional and user experience perspectives. Designed and executed 12+ test cases using both positive and negative testing techniques to validate expected system behavior against actual outcomes. Identified and documented 4+ defects with clear steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual results, severity classification, and screenshots — following structured bug reporting standards. Managed end-to-end defect lifecycle using Jira — from defect logging and assignment to resolution tracking and closure verification. Validated UI elements, cart functionality, product sorting, and checkout flow to ensure complete functional accuracy across all modules. Performed smoke testing to verify core functionality after each build and regression testing post bug-fix to confirm resolutions did not introduce new issues. Documented test results and summarized findings in a structured test report mapping test outcomes to original requirements.

Academic Project

AI-Driven Crop Disease Prediction & Management System

Jan 2024 - Jan 2024

Analyzed the business problem of crop disease identification and its impact on agricultural productivity — gathered and documented functional requirements for a system supporting disease prediction. Collaborated with team members to define system workflow, user requirements, and solution approach — replicating real-world stakeholder communication and requirement gathering practices. Developed 20+ detailed test cases and test scenarios covering functional, regression, and smoke testing requirements for AI-generated prediction outputs. Collected and structured agricultural dataset using Microsoft Excel — organized, validated, and summarized dataset features to support model inputs and analysis. Logged, tracked, and managed defects in Jira — performed re-testing after developer fixes and verified defect closure with structured confirmation steps. Validated UAT requirements with product stakeholders and confirmed feature acceptance criteria were fully met before sign-off. Contributed to sprint-level QA activities aligned with Agile/Scrum methodology — participated in sprint reviews, defect triage meetings, and retrospectives. Documented project objectives, analysis findings, system requirements, and expected outcomes for academic evaluation — supporting BA-style documentation practice.

Academic Project

Detection of Phishing Domains Using Machine Learning

Jan 2024 - Jan 2024

Analyzed the problem of phishing domain detection and its impact on user security — structured domain-related data to support machine learning analysis and defined system requirements. Collected, organized, and validated domain dataset using Microsoft Excel — ensuring data accuracy and completeness before handoff for model training. Conducted exploratory and usability testing to identify edge-case defects that were missed during scripted test passes — demonstrating initiative beyond standard test coverage. Documented defects with clear reproduction steps, severity levels, and expected vs. actual behavior — verified all resolutions with developers after fixes were deployed. Ensured the application met functional requirements by mapping test results to acceptance criteria and stakeholder expectations. Applied risk-based testing prioritization to maximize test coverage within constrained sprint timelines — focusing effort on highest-impact areas first. Assisted in defining system requirements and documenting analysis findings — contributing both QA and BA-style deliverables throughout the project lifecycle.

Self-Initiated
