E-Commerce Web Application — Manual Testing & API Testing | Domain: E-Commerce | Tools: JIRA · Postman · MySQL

• Prepared and executed 120+ test cases across 6 functional modules (registration, login, product search, cart, checkout, payment) applying manual testing fundamentals and black-box techniques — maintained an RTM to achieve 95% requirement coverage with zero untested features.
• Identified, reported, and tracked 38 software defects across 4 build releases using JIRA — applied severity and priority classifications, authored clear reproduction steps, and verified fixes; achieved an 87% first-pass defect acceptance rate with zero regression escapes.
• Applied analytical and problem-solving skills to validate 15 REST API endpoints via Postman (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) — scrutinised status codes, JSON schemas, and payload contracts to intercept 4 API mismatches that would have reached production undetected.
• Demonstrated a strong understanding of software testing by executing 25+ SQL queries across 5 MySQL tables to cross-validate UI behaviour against backend data — uncovering 6 silent data-integrity defects invisible to front-end testing.

Banking Application — Functional Testing & Regression Testing | Domain: Core Banking | Tools: JIRA · Excel · MySQL

• Prepared an end-to-end test plan and executed 80+ test cases across 5 banking modules (account creation, fund transfer, authentication, transaction history, balance enquiry) — applied core manual testing fundamentals to achieve 100% planned test execution across 3 Agile sprints with zero deferred coverage.
• Applied analytical problem-solving through systematic use of Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) and Equivalence Partitioning — improved edge-case defect detection by ~30% while reducing total test case count.
• Identified and reported 22 defects in JIRA with precise severity/priority tags and reproduction steps; collaborated with the development team to communicate defect impact clearly — driving 100% critical defect resolution before UAT with zero blocker escapes.
