Sonia Bisht

Results-driven QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience spanning both Automation (Web & API) and Manual Testing (Mobile & Web). Proficient in Selenium WebDriver (Java), BDD Cucumber, TestNG, and Page Object Model (POM). Expert in API Test Automation using Rest Assured and Postman, with seamless CI/CD pipeline integration via Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and Azure DevOps.

Proven track record of increasing regression test coverage by 40%, reducing manual testing effort by 30%, and accelerating release cycles. Adept at both writing automation frameworks from scratch and executing rigorous end-to-end manual test cycles. Strong background in Agile/Scrum, SDLC, STLC, and defect lifecycle management.

SQA Engineer at Landis + Gyr (2024-04 – Present)

• Automation Framework Development: Designed and maintained a scalable Selenium WebDriver (Java) + TestNG automation framework using Page Object Model (POM); integrated BDD Cucumber for behaviour-driven development — increased regression test coverage by ~40% and significantly reduced manual testing effort.
• API Test Automation: Developed and executed automated API tests using Rest Assured and Postman for REST/SOAP services; validated JSON/XML responses and schema contracts, catching integration defects early in the SDLC.
• CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Integrated test suites into Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous testing and accelerating release cycles with faster feedback loops.
• Performance & Load Testing: Designed and executed load and performance tests using Apache JMeter; identified system bottlenecks and optimized application response times under peak load.
• Database & Backend Testing: Performed backend validation using MySQL and PostgreSQL, writing complex SQL queries to ensure data integrity, consistency, and system reliability.
• Defect & Test Management: Managed user stories, test cases, defects, and test execution in Azure DevOps; monitored application logs via GCP and Argo CD for efficient root cause analysis.

Quality Analyst at RNF Technologies (2021-12 – 2024-04)

• Web Dashboard Automation: Built and maintained Selenium WebDriver (Java) automation scripts for internal admin and analytics dashboard web pages; created data-driven test suites using TestNG covering end-to-end user workflows, reporting modules, and widget-level validations — reducing dashboard regression cycle time by ~35% and enabling reliable overnight test runs via Jenkins CI integration.
• Mobile Application Testing: Conducted comprehensive functional, usability, compatibility, and performance testing of iOS and Android mobile applications using real devices and BrowserStack, ensuring cross-platform quality.
• API & Integration Testing: Performed manual and semi-automated API testing using Postman for REST endpoints consumed by web dashboards and mobile apps; validated request/response payloads, status codes, and data consistency across front-end and back-end layers.
• Agile/Scrum Collaboration: Participated in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives; collaborated with developers, product managers, and UX designers to align test strategy with business and release goals.
• Defect Lifecycle Management: Logged, tracked, and managed defects in JIRA through the complete defect lifecycle; performed root cause analysis and verified fixes with thorough regression testing.
