Test Engineer
Expedia Group
12.2013 - 09.2017
- Collaborate with team throughout SDLC to discuss and understand “why do we have new
feature/story”, “what is the new feature/story” and then working towards “how” best we
can test it by creating a test plan, test cases that include both negative and positive test
scenarios that are mapped directly to acceptance criteria - Write test cases using BDD approach of “Given” “When” “Then”, which takes all ambiguity
out of the picture across the entire team including client/product teams. - Create traceability matrix to ensure we have a test case against all acceptance criteria with
particular emphasis on documenting “point of sale” and “line of business” and “regions” on
which new feature would be introduced. This opens up opportunity to test a range of
negative scenarios. - Identify test cases that should be automated for best results that would smooth out
extensive testing and then creating and maintaining automation test suite. A major chunk of
my work around automation revolve around investigating test failures and fixing it. - Raising bugs and follow up on defects until they are closed .and bug fix gets tested and build is released.
- Manually testing Graphical User Interface and creating automated tests using JUnit,
Selenium and Cucumber. - Validate responsive design and perform cross browser testing that includes testing on both
simulation and real devices, with strong focus on testing on mobile viewport. - Share learnings across team members by writing confluence pages

- Working in a close knit team, I contributed towards defining clear testing goals by
understanding complete system under test, listening to stakeholders and by asking
purposeful questions that take away any guesses or assumptions away from requirements. - Contributed effectively by creating and executing test cases, test data , test conditions and
documenting results for each iteration - Competently performed integration testing, verified correctness of data and trigger
conditions and validated synchronization of events between two events. - Coordinated with test manager in building weekly reports that included but not limited to
status of defects reported, health of application and follow up with developers on closing
the open bugs, particular emphasis on “show stopper” defects, new test cases written and
result of test execution.
