Caterpillar - CAT ONE Application :
Replaced a 7-year-old legacy Cucumber framework with a modern Java 21-based hybrid test automation framework, boosting test efficiency and scalability for Caterpillar’s expanding retail application SIT automation suite for 750+ scenarios.
Designed and implemented UI, API, and XML automation from scratch using TestNG and Rest Assured.
Enabled a modular test strategy and CI compatibility, allowing parallel execution and reducing execution time by 65%.
Spearheaded test coverage expansion across retail modules, incorporating static and dynamic validations and mentoring junior QA members to ensure long-term sustainability.
Migrating the existing automation suite to Playwright + MCP to improve cross‑browser reliability, reduce flakiness, and standardize test orchestration across web and headless environments.
Implementing MCP patterns for modular test components, centralized configuration, resilient locator strategies, adaptive waits, and artifacted test runs for faster debugging and maintenance.
Consolidating n-1 release automation into the same release pipeline to enable same‑release validation, faster scripting cycles with reduced timings, and seamless collaboration within the same team.
Building LLM-powered test generation pipelines to auto-suggest test scenarios, generate step-level scripts, and propose assertions from user stories and acceptance criteria.
Using prompt engineering and guardrails to produce high-quality, verifiable test steps from LLM outputs; integrating synthetic data generators and data masks to keep tests hermetic and secure.
Focused on scalable framework patterns: reusable page components, service clients, test factories, and fixtures to maximize DRY, maintainability, and onboarding speed.
Mentorship & knowledge transfer: created onboarding guides, runbooks, and pair-programming sessions to upskill team members on Playwright, MCP patterns, LLM/RAG usage, and CI best practices.
