Description
Company : XTEN-AV.
Location : Noida.
Employment Type : Full-time.
About The Role
XTEN-AV is hiring an Automation Tester to design, implement, and maintain reliable test automation for web, API, and mobile surfaces.
Youll collaborate with product and engineering to ship high-quality releases faster, with strong ownership of test strategy, framework health, and CI stability.
What You'll Do
- Own the test automation strategy across web/API/mobile; drive shift-left testing with developers.
- Design and maintain robust automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright/Cypress/Selenium/Appium) with clean architecture and reusable utilities.
- Build API automation (REST/GraphQL) including contract tests, schema validation, and negative cases.
- Integrate and stabilize suites in CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab), including parallelization, flaky-test control, and test artifacts (videos, screenshots, logs).
- Implement test data management : deterministic fixtures, environment switches, and stubs/mocks for external services.
- Pair with developers on PR checks, code reviews for testability, and triage of intermittent failures.
- Maintain living documentation : test plans, coverage maps, and runbooks for failures.
Must-Have Skills
- 24 years in QA automation for web and/or mobile products.
- Hands-on with at least one UI automation tool : Playwright / Cypress / Selenium (and Appium for mobile, if applicable).
- Strong API testing & automation : Postman/Newman or REST clients + code-level tests (e.g., pytest + requests, SuperTest, or REST Assured).
- Solid programming in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python (framework utilities, page objects/screenplay, helpers, assertions).
- Experience building or extending an automation framework (page objects/screenplay, layers for drivers, selectors, waits, reporting).
- Comfortable with Git, branching, PR reviews, and CI/CD pipelines (set up, cache, matrix, artifacts).
- Clear communication, strong ownership, and the ability to debug failures quickly across logs, traces, and screenshots.
Tools & Stacks
- Automation : Playwright/Cypress/Selenium; Appium (if mobile).
- Language & Test Runners : TypeScript/JavaScript (Playwright/Cypress/Jest), or Python (pytest).
- API : Postman/Newman, or code-based tests (pytest + requests / SuperTest).
- CI/CD : GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins (parallel runs, artifacts, notifications).
- Reporting & Quality Gates : Allure/HTML reports, coverage thresholds.
- Version Control : Git.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Automation coverage of critical flows and services.
- Flakiness rate and mean time to isolate (MTTI) for failures.
- Build stability (pass rate) and time to feedback in CI.
- Regression cycle time and escaped defects to production.
