• Designed and executed end-to-end test strategies and 300+ functional and regression test cases for web service-based healthcare data exchange applications, achieving a 40% improvement in pre-production defect detection and reducing production incident rate significantly.
• Performed comprehensive REST API testing using Postman across 20+ healthcare data exchange endpoints — created reusable REST API test suites to validate endpoint behaviour, request/response payloads, data integrity, authentication flows, and HIPAA-compliant secure data transmission.
• Developed and executed web services testing including SoapUI-style functional validation of service contracts, schema compliance, and integration behaviour across healthcare platform modules — validating HL7 message data flows end-to-end.
• Built and maintained Selenium WebDriver + TestNG automation framework; automated 150+ regression and smoke scenarios, cutting regression cycle time by ~30% and integrating suites into CI/CD pipelines (Git/GitHub) for continuous quality feedback on every build.
• Reduced manual testing effort by ~35%; maintained version-controlled repositories ensuring team-wide script reusability and consistent test coverage across releases.
• Identified, documented, and tracked 200+ defects in JIRA with detailed analysis — produced precise defect reports enabling developers to reproduce and resolve issues efficiently, maintaining 100% sprint SLA compliance.
• Leveraged SQL for rigorous backend data validation: wrote complex multi-table queries, verified large healthcare datasets, and identified 25+ critical data-integrity discrepancies before they reached production.
• Supported release readiness activities including test reporting, risk assessment, and compliance documentation — ensuring quality standards and data privacy requirements were met across every release cycle.
• Collaborated with developers, business analysts, and QA teams across time zones in Agile/Scrum sprints, contributing to 10+ on-time software releases with zero critical production escapes.
• Authored comprehensive QA documentation: test plans, test cases, test scripts, RTMs, test scenarios, and test summary reports for internal audits and compliance reviews.
