Anuradha Isalkar — QA Engineer

Quality isn't accidental — it's engineered, validated, and continuously improved. I'm a QA Engineer at AXA Global Business Services (Pune), where I ensure enterprise-grade web applications meet the highest standards of reliability, performance, and functionality before they reach real users. With dual certifications — ISTQB® Foundation and CP-SAT® Foundation — and hands-on Selenium (Java) automation experience, I bridge the gap between manual precision and automation efficiency. What sets my approach apart is a data-driven QA mindset, shaped by my background as a Data Analyst. I don't just find bugs — I analyse patterns, validate data flows, and bring structured analytical thinking to every test cycle. I'm also one of the few QA professionals actively certified in AI-augmented testing (Software Testing Foundations: Integrating AI into the Quality Process), positioning me at the intersection of traditional QA and the next generation of intelligent testing. 🔎 What I do at AXA: • Design and execute test cases for web applications across functional, regression, and sanity testing • Manage the full defect lifecycle in Jira — from discovery to developer handoff and closure • Build and maintain QA documentation: Test Cases, RTM, Test Reports, Release Checklists • Collaborate in Agile sprints with developers and business analysts to ensure release-ready builds • Expanding automation capability with Selenium WebDriver (Java) to reduce regression testing time 📜 Credentials: ISTQB® Foundation | CP-SAT® Foundation | Selenium (Java) | AI in Software Testing | AI Literacy for Business Leaders 🚀 Next goal: Stepping into a QA Lead role where I can drive test strategy, mentor junior testers, and build automation frameworks that scale — while integrating AI-powered testing practices that the industry is rapidly adopting. 📩 Open to QA Lead, Senior QA Engineer, and Test Automation Lead opportunities. Let's connect!
