QA Automation Engineer

UnitedHealth Group•  July 2021 - Present

Project: distributed enterprise web based application with more that 10 functional modules and comprehensive microservice architecture. Provider Management domain, tools for managing and updating the network of healthcare providers. - Implement in collaboration with the team automation testing across all layers: UI testing (using Java, Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, Cucumber BDD and ATDD framework, Java TestNG DDT framework, and Python Pytest Framework as well), database testing (utilizing the Java JDBC Library, SQL for both the TestNG DDT framework and Cucumber BDD Framework based on Selenium WebDriver, JUnit), and API Testing (with Postman and Java REST Assured Library for RESTful APIs). This has already resulted in a more than 40% reduction in manual testing efforts. § Engineered one scalable test automation framework from scratch, leveraging Java, Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, and Cucumber with Maven, incorporated Java JDBC and REST Assured libraries to implement monolithic Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) and Data-Driven Testing (DDT) approaches and enable data consistency and accuracy verification through comprehensive end-to-end testing, resulting in enhanced software quality and reliability. § Maintain with 0 total system failures the regression and smoke test suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines using Apache Maven, Jenkins, Selenium Grid, Git / GitHub, deployed with the help of Docker upon AWS cloud infrastructure. § Designed and debugged 1000+ automated test cases and test scripts, including end-to-end tests, by implementing the Behavioral Driven Development (BDD) approach with Java, Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, Cucumber, Java JDBC Library, SQL, REST Assured Library, and Gherkin Syntax. - Refactored existing code focusing on code reusability and developed new comprehensive end-to-end test cases, resulting in a reduction of regression suite size by over 30% in scope of lines of code. - Implement effective testing techniques such as 3p Boundary Value Analysis, coupled with Equivalence Partitioning and State Transition Testing, resulted in a 25% reduction of cloud service usage and cost savings. - Executed comprehensive system testing, encompassing Smoke, Sanity, Confirmation, and Regression testing, utilizing both Manual and Automated Testing techniques. Employed Scripted and Exploratory testing methodologies. Collaborated to post-release defects reduction by over 60%, ensuring a robust and high-quality product. - Mentored, supervised and motivated 4 coworkers, transitioned from manual to automation testing. - Review and analyze team mates’ code during code review sessions, held over 10 knowledge sharing sessions.
