- API Testing: Hands‑on experience in manual and/or automated testing of REST and/or GraphQL APIs using tools like Postman, RestAssured, or Locust.
- CI/CD and SDLC: Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and software development lifecycle concepts, including code review practices, code coverage analysis, continuous testing, and delivery.
- Tools and Systems: Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git), test management tools (e.g., TestRail), and issue‑tracking platforms (e.g., Jira).
- Databases: Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL is a plus.
- Cloud and Deployment: Knowledge of cloud environments (e.g., AWS) and experience with application deployments.
- Test Process: Experience in creating comprehensive test plans, authoring test cases, executing tests, and adhering to QA best practices.
