Quality Assurance Analyst

About Role:

We are seeking a high-caliber QA Automation Engineer. This role requires a strong foundation in automation fundamentals (selectors, waits, test design, framework patterns), and hands-on Playwright experience to deliver reliable and maintainable automated test coverage. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with modern testing tools, CI/CD integration, and Agile delivery environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Playwright Automation Development
• Develop clean, maintainable Playwright automation scripts using TypeScript
• Implement robust locator strategies (data-testid, role selectors, stable DOM strategy)
• Leverage Playwright capabilities:
• auto-waiting, trace viewer, screenshots/video
• parallel execution, sharding, tagging
• network interception (where required)
• AppiumExperience

API Testing & Data Validation

• Build and maintain API automation tests using:
• RestAssured (Java) and/or Playwright API Request context
• Postman (for quick validations)
• Validate data integrity and end-to-end flows across UI + API (where applicable)

CI/CD & Reporting

• Integrate test execution into CI/CD pipelines:
• Jenkins / GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps
• Maintain execution reports:
• Allure / Playwright HTML reports / Extent reports
• Collaborate closely with developers, BAs, and DevOps engineers to ensure quality delivery.
• Analyze test failures, debug automation scripts, and perform root cause analysis.
• Manage test data, environment configurations, and execution reports (Extent / Allure).
• Mentor team members on automation best practices and code reviews.
• Maintain documentation required for handover: automation coverage, known gaps, execution guide

Technical Skills Required

• Playwright (Critical)
• Strong hands-on Playwright implementation experience
• Solid knowledge of TypeScript
• Expertise in writing stable UI tests:
• locators, auto-waits, assertions
• retries (used responsibly)
• handling dynamic elements, iframe, new tabs, downloads
• Selenium WebDriver with Java (legacy understanding helps migration)

Automation Engineering Fundamentals

• Understanding of framework patterns:
• Page Object Model / fixtures-based approach
• data-driven strategies
• reusable utilities (auth, common flows, assertions)
• Strong debugging skills:
• logs, traces, screenshots/video interpretation

CI/CD + Tools

Jenkins / GitHub Actions (pipeline execution, triggers, artifacts)

Git (branching, pull requests, code reviews)

API Testing

• RestAssured and/or Playwright API
• Postman for validations
• Strong understanding of request/response validation

Good to Have

• Docker / Selenium Grid / containerized execution
• SQL skills for backend validations
• Test management tools: Jira + Zephyr/Xray/TestRail
• Regulated domain maturity (healthcare/fintech): audit trails, PII/PHI awareness

Process Requirements

Strong Agile delivery experience (Scrum ceremonies)

Ability to create/update structured test documentation and maintain traceability
