Associate

Cognizant

Sep 2021 - Feb 2026

Designed and maintained a scalable UI automation framework using Java, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), and Page Object Model (POM), improving test maintainability, reusability, and reducing script failures. Developed API automation suites using Rest Assured, achieving 80%+ backend test coverage and validating complex service workflows, which significantly reduced manual testing efforts. Integrated automation suites with GitLab CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated regression execution on every build and improving continuous testing within the development lifecycle. Utilized WireMock to mock third-party APIs, creating stable and isolated test environments for reliable service integration testing. Managed test data using MongoDB to ensure consistency across multiple test environments and support efficient data-driven testing strategies. Integrated database validation into end-to-end automation tests, ensuring accurate data synchronization between the UI, API services, and backend database. Developed and executed data-driven UI automation test cases using a Java-based Selenium framework, separating test data from test scripts to improve test reusability and maintainability across multiple scenarios. Designed and maintained modular automation scripts for regression testing, ensuring scalable and reusable test components within the automation framework. Optimized regression test execution, contributing to a 20% reduction in regression testing time and enabling faster validation during release cycles. Improved test reliability and coverage by implementing structured test cases and reusable automation utilities, supporting a more efficient and stable QA process.
