Create test case scenarios for improving test coverage using C# and .NET.
Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks for UI, API, integration, and performance/load testing.
Develop and execute automated test suites to validate functional and non-functional requirements.
Develop comprehensive test strategies for REST API migrations from legacy SOAP/WCF services.
Perform end-to-end testing of API workflows, including authentication and authorization flows.
Validate OpenAPI/Swagger specifications against actual API implementations.
Test adapter layer functionality between REST APIs and legacy SOAP/WCF services, ensuring backward compatibility during migration phases.
Validate file-based interface translations and data integrity across systems.
Perform regression testing on existing SCM and card-related functionalities throughout migration phases.
Conduct integration testing with internal and external systems, including Presidio IVR systems.
Validate OAuth 2.0 and MFA implementations across services.
Integrate test automation into CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar tools.
Design and run load and performance tests to validate system resilience and scalability using tools such as JMeter or Gatling or LoadRunner.
Create and maintain tools for test data generation, mocking, dependency control, and system observability.
Collaborate with software development teams to promote testability, shift-left practices, TDD, and clean code architecture.
Participate in code reviews for application and test code, providing actionable feedback on coverage and quality.
Mentor engineers and QA team members in automation practices and support a culture of test-driven development.
Instrument tests and systems for observability and monitoring to support debugging and performance analysis.
Maintain and evolve automation to work reliably in containerized and cloud environments (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure/AWS/GCP).
