About

Hello! I am Vikas Jha, a Senior SDET and QA Automation as well as Quality Engineering Leader with over 12 years of extensive experience in software testing, automation engineering, and DevOps-aligned quality delivery for web and mobile applications, particularly in the payments and advertising domains. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence and innovation, where I have successfully strategized and implemented effective testing solutions that add significant value to organizations. I thrive in fast-paced Agile environments, balancing manual and automation testing to ensure high-quality deliverables. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong expertise in the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), focusing on test strategy definition, planning, execution, and defect management. I have a proven track record in designing scalable automation frameworks that enhance test coverage and improve release velocity. My hands-on experience with CI/CD-driven continuous testing and cloud-native testing has enabled me to embed quality gates into DevOps pipelines, ensuring early defect detection and reliable production releases. I am passionate about mentoring teams and driving quality standards across multiple products. Key Achievements: - Spearheaded the end-to-end test automation strategy at Truecaller, increasing test coverage by 40% through scalable frameworks. - Improved load tolerance by 35% through performance and scalability testing using JMeter and Gatling. - Reduced regression effort by 30% at MasterCard by developing reusable Java-based automation frameworks. - Mentored a team of QA engineers, enhancing release predictability by 25%.
