SDET Playwright / TypeScript /Appium

Project Mandate Understand and rationalize legacy/manual test suites Ensure stable CI execution with reporting and traceability Improve regression execution speed through Playwright parallelism Key Responsibilities Manual Automation Migration Analyze and understand legacy manual test cases (test steps, data, expected outcomes) Identify gaps, ambiguities, and missing dependencies early Convert prioritized test cases into Playwright automation aligned to agreed standards Support test case rationalization: remove duplicates, improve clarity, tag critical coverage Playwright Automation Development Develop clean, maintainable Playwright automation scripts using TypeScript. Implement robust locator strategies (data-testid, role selectors, stable DOM strategy) Leverage Playwright capabilities: auto-waiting, trace viewer, screenshots/video parallel execution, sharding, tagging network interception (where required) API Testing & Data Validation Build and maintain API automation tests using: RestAssured (Java) and/or Playwright API Request context Postman (for quick validations) Validate data integrity and end-to-end flows across UI + API (where applicable) CI/CD & Reporting Integrate test execution into CI/CD pipelines: Jenkins / GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps Maintain execution reports: Allure / Playwright HTML reports / Extent reports Perform RCA for failures and reduce flakiness through engineering improvements Delivery Governance (Fixed Bid Mindset) Work with leads to follow: estimation, burn down tracking, velocity management change control when test scope expands Maintain documentation required for handover: automation coverage, known gaps, execution guide Required Skills (Must Have)Playwright (Critical) Strong hands-on Playwright implementation experience Solid knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript (preferred) or Java-based Playwright Expertise in writing stable UI tests: locators, auto-waits, assertions retries (used responsibly) handling dynamic elements, iframe, new tabs, downloads Selenium WebDriver with Java Selenium WebDriver with Java (legacy understanding helps migration) Appium Experience Appium experience Automation Engineering Fundamentals Understanding of framework patterns: Page Object Model / fixtures-based approach data-driven strategies reusable utilities (auth, common flows, assertions) Strong debugging skills: logs, traces, screenshots/video interpretation CI/CD + Tools Jenkins / GitHub Actions (pipeline execution, triggers, artifacts) Git (branching, pull requests, code reviews) API Testing RestAssured and/or Playwright API Postman for validations Strong understanding of request/response validation Good to Have Docker / Selenium Grid / containerized execution SQL skills for backend validations Test management tools: Jira + Zephyr/Xray/TestRail Regulated domain maturity (healthcare/fintech): audit trails, PII/PHI awareness Process Requirements Strong Agile delivery experience (Scrum ceremonies) Ability to create/update structured test documentation and maintain traceability .
