  • Company Overview: Ennov, for more than 25 years in the life sciences industry, has been developing innovative, powerful and easy-to-use software for document and process management. The software solution is built on Unified Compliance Platform designed specifically for managing regulated content and processes.
  • Develop an automation framework with Playwright and JAVA to migrate a legacy monolith to Azure-based microservices.
  • Develop a Playwright Core Utilities class that incorporates third-party libraries for managing dynamic locators and interactions with external applications.
  • Migrate hybrid Page Objects Model automation framework from Selenium and AWS to Playwright with Azure DevOps.
  • Optimize Selenium core classes to use Thread Local libraries with Playwright & TestNG for seamless parallel execution on Selenium Grid in Azure Cloud.
  • Use Playwright Inspector to identify shadow DOM elements and use Locator options in Playwright CLI to access nested iFrames.
  • Use dynamic relative locators for complex nested tables in the web application UI to minimize script flakiness.
  • Transition the REST-Assured API framework to the Playwright API automation model, utilizing POJO classes in conjunction with the Lombok library.
  • Use Jackson API libraries in Playwright API tests to deserialize API server response for seamless validation using TestNG Annotations.
  • Create ChainTest LP server in Azure cloud to accumulate test reports from all automation virtual lab machines.
  • Optimize classes to deprecate listeners for Extent Reports in favor of Chain Test library.
  • Perform several POC’s on various test tools and test methodologies for providing efficient test solutions and deliver quality products faster.
  • Develop automation scripts with a TOSCA Commander license and run them on Azure Bastion VM lab agents.
  • Use XScan to build a modular structure with dedicated controls for event handling.
  • Use TOSCA native TBox Engines in conjunction with controls in the Modules to create reusable test cases.
  • Use Buffer and Verify Action modes to validate dynamic data during test executions.
  • Create reusable Test Step Blocks to be used in logically constructed Test Step Libraries based on application module design.
  • Create Test Configuration Parameters and Business Parameters to allow ease of accessing Test Step blocks in multiple test cases.
  • Create test case templates with Test Case Design attributes and instances to generate multiple test cases and cover all positive and negative scenarios.
  • Create Execution List for each sprint to map requirements that were covered in the User Stories.
  • Design Selenium (JAVA) with Cucumber BDD automation framework as a maven project solution stored in SVN repositories to be integrated with AWS.
  • Model the framework using Selenium Web Driver and Page Object Model design pattern by creating java classes per page in the application using Page Chaining.
  • Use Apache POI API libraries to read data from Excel Workbook created to store test data corresponding to each data entry page.
  • Integrate existing JMeter API data set up scripts within the maven project as a Background action in Feature files for faster script execution times.
  • Create intuitive feature files in Gherkin to integrate manual team for creating scripts.
  • Use TestNG wrapper for Cucumber Runner class to execute scripts on Selenium Grid deployed on AWS Ec2 systems.
  • Create Objective Evidence using Extent Report library for attaching with test runs.
  • Design hybrid automation framework in HP’s UFT using functional libraries, Descriptive Programming and Object-Oriented Programming.
  • Develop automation framework for InSight Validator and S-Cubed Client/Server products based on .Net Infragistics objects with Test Advantage add-in for UFT.
  • Adobe Flex Builder 4 objects with Flex add-in for UFT.
  • Develop automation framework for Insight Manager web application products based on Java/Ajax/ExtJS.
  • Create the Automation Best Practices document and ensure it is adhered to across the automation teams based in US, Ukraine, and India.
  • Strictly follow the Code Based Automation guidelines protocol for creating the automation scripts to increase flexibility and reduce maintenance times.
  • Design the automation framework in a structured way to reduce the Design Time and Debug Times for the automated scripts.
  • Write numerous reusable user-defined functions in the Automation Framework which were used as high-level function calls in the automated scripts.
  • Design the automated scripts to be driven by an attached Excel Data Table containing the metadata to execute the tests.
  • Use the concept of Descriptive Programming at various stages in many functions to handle dynamic objects and minimize the use of Shared Object Repositories.
  • Declare many Global Variables and Global Arrays at the Library level to store the current state of the application which was used to enable Smart Navigation.
  • Introduce the concept of Smart Navigation to reduce the number of user-defined functions that need to be maintained in the compiled modules.
  • Work closely with development team in the Agile environment to help automation team resolve framework development issues earlier in the QC cycle.
  • Use JMeter tool to create performance benchmarks on the Insight Manager Web application product and to load huge metadata.
  • Use HTTP Analyzer and BadBoy software tools to build HTTP Requests and get the application server response times and design JMeter scripts.
  • Resolve various technical and day to day user issues in ALM as Administrator such as locking issues, team security privileges and user logins.
  • Log defects in ALM and work with development team to resolve the issues in a timely manner.
