Automation Tester -API for Banking Project

• Design and develop automated test scripts for RESTful and SOAP APIs using tools like Postman, Rest Assured, or Karate.

• Collaborate with developers, BAs, and QA team members to understand system architecture, workflows, and test requirements.

• Create test cases, test data, and test plans based on functional and non-functional requirements.

• Execute automated API test scripts and validate results.

• Integrate automated tests with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI).

• Perform regression and performance testing of APIs in production-like environments.

• Analyze test results, identify root causes of failures, and report bugs effectively using tools like JIRA or Azure DevOps.

• Participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and defect triage meetings.

• Ensure compliance with data privacy and security standards specific to the banking domain
