• Support the transition from manual to automated testing and develop automated regression test suites.
• Implement Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) scenarios using frameworks such as Cucumber JVM or Behave.
• Design and execute performance and load tests to assess application stability, responsiveness, and scalability.
• Develop automated test reports, dashboards, and quality metrics.
• Manage test data and validate API responses, data serialization, and system integrations.
• Collaborate with developers, manual testers, and cross-functional teams to improve test coverage and promote a shift-left testing approach.
• Explore Generative AI capabilities to support automated test generation and improve testing efficiency.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes, frameworks, and quality assurance practices. What you bring
