As a QA automation engineer, I developed test scripts using Selenium web driver and ensured the successful execution of the tests in various Core product areas in PeopleTools.
My responsibility includes reporting bugs and followup with respective product owners for the successful closure of the issues.
I owned various product areas from the automation standpoint and ensured the stability and reliability of the tests owned by me.
I brought in various optimizations to the test scripts and reusable libraries which reduces the maintenance cost of the tests and the turnaround time in case of failures.
