Project Mandate

- Understand and rationalize legacy/manual test suites

- Ensure stable CI execution with reporting and traceability

- Improve regression execution speed through Playwright parallelism

Key Responsibilities

1. Manual Automation Migration

- Analyze and understand legacy manual test cases (test steps, data, expected outcomes)

- Identify gaps, ambiguities, and missing dependencies early

- Convert prioritized test cases into Playwright automation aligned to agreed standards

- Support test case rationalization: remove duplicates, improve clarity, tag critical coverage

1. Playwright Automation Development

- Develop clean, maintainable Playwright automation scripts using TypeScript.

- Implement robust locator strategies (data-testid, role selectors, stable DOM strategy)

- Leverage Playwright capabilities:

- auto-waiting, trace viewer, screenshots/video
- parallel execution, sharding, tagging
- network interception (where required)

1. API Testing & Data Validation

- Build and maintain API automation tests using:

- RestAssured (Java) and/or Playwright API Request context

- Postman (for quick validations)

- Validate data integrity and end-to-end flows across UI + API (where applicable)

1. CI/CD & Reporting

- Integrate test execution into CI/CD pipelines:

- Jenkins / GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps

- Maintain execution reports:

- Allure / Playwright HTML reports / Extent reports

- Perform RCA for failures and reduce flakiness through engineering improvements

1. Delivery Governance (Fixed Bid Mindset)

- Work with leads to follow:

- estimation, burn down tracking, velocity management




- change control when test scope expands

- Maintain documentation required for handover:

- automation coverage, known gaps, execution guide

Required Skills (Must Have)Playwright (Critical)

- Robust hands-on Playwright implementation experience

- Solid knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript (preferred) or Java-based Playwright

- Expertise in writing stable UI tests:

- locators, auto-waits, assertions
- retries (used responsibly)

- handling dynamic elements, iframe, new tabs, downloads

Selenium WebDriver with Java

- Selenium WebDriver with Java (legacy understanding helps migration)

Appium Experience

- Appium experience

Automation Engineering Fundamentals

- Understanding of framework patterns:

- Page Object Model / fixtures-based approach
- data-driven strategies
- reusable utilities (auth, common flows, assertions)

- Strong debugging skills:

- logs, traces, screenshots/video interpretation

CI/CD + Tools

- Jenkins / GitHub Actions (pipeline execution, triggers, artifacts)

- Git (branching, pull requests, code reviews)

API Testing

- RestAssured and/or Playwright API

- Postman for validations

- Strong understanding of request/response validation

Good to Have

- Docker / Selenium Grid / containerized execution

- SQL skills for backend validations

- Test management tools: Jira + Zephyr/Xray/TestRail

- Regulated domain maturity (healthcare/fintech): audit trails, PII/PHI awareness

Process Requirements

- Strong Agile delivery experience (Scrum ceremonies)

- Ability to create/update structured test documentation and maintain traceability
