• Automate both web-based applications and mainframe testing (via appropriate tools and interfaces).
• Test Strategy & Execution:
• Create and execute comprehensive test scenarios for functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end (E2E) testing.
• Ensure full test coverage across user stories, APIs, UI layers, and backend systems.
• Backend & Database Validation:
• Perform rigorous backend validation using SQL queries and advanced database testing techniques across platforms like Oracle, SQL Server, Snowflake, and PostgreSQL.
• Validate data integrity, consistency, and business logic at the database level.
• Test Design & Documentation:
• Analyze business and technical requirements to design detailed test cases, test data, and execution reports.
• Prepare and maintain test documentation in alignment with project standards and compliance (e.g., ISO 27701, UAE regulations).

• Support CI/CD pipelines by integrating automated tests into build processes using Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Docker.
• Enable continuous testing and shift-left testing practices.
• Framework Enhancement & Efficiency:
• Maintain and enhance existing automation frameworks (e.g., Page Object Model, BDD with Cucumber, REST Assured, Postman) to improve execution speed, reliability, and reusability.
• Optimize test execution time through parallel execution, test data management, and intelligent test selection.
• Reporting & Metrics:
• Generate actionable test execution reports, release health dashboards, and quality metrics for stakeholders.
• Use tools like Confluence, Jira, Zephyr, and Power BI/Tableau for real-time visibility into testing progress and quality trends.
