Overview Automation API Tester for Banking Project Responsibilities Review API specifications (REST, SOAP, GraphQL etc.) / requirement documents and understand business logic and edge cases. Design test cases for API / service endpoints: positive, negative, boundary, error conditions, schema / contract validation, versioning. Develop, maintain, and enhance test automation scripts & frameworks (API / integration testing) using tools like RestAssured, Postman, SoapUI, or equivalent. Create and maintain test data, stubs / mocks / service virtualization where external dependencies are unavailable or unreliable. Execute automated & manual tests (for integration / regression) and analyze results. Identify defects; log, track, and follow up on them with devs; validate fixes. Ensure tests are integrated into CI/CD pipelines to enable automated regression / build validation. Perform nonfunctional testing as required: e.g. performance, load, latency, reliability, and possibly security of APIs. Monitor and report test metrics: coverage, pass/fail rates, defect density, test reliability, regression times etc. Collaborate with crossfunctional teams: Development, Product, Ops / DevOps, to ensure that API related issues (scalability, security, error handling, monitoring) are addressed. Essential skills Strong expertise in Java (experienced in writing API scripts according to best practices). Proficiency in BDD/Gherkin with Cucumber. Experience with API investigation/manual tools such as Postman, Bruno, and Insomnia. Playwright: ability to understand and write code (good to have, as UI tests may move to Playwright). Ruby with Cucumber (Selenium framework): experience in writing and executing UI automation scripts. Able to write and execute functional, regression, and smoke test cases. Experience in peer review of test cases. Hands-on experience with test management tools. Experience in the banking sector is preferred. Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins). Good understanding of GitLab for code versioning and maintenance Desired skills Java strong coding skills, best practices for API test automation. REST API Automation 58 years with Rest-Assured and Wiremock. API Tools (manual/investigation): Postman, Bruno, Insomnia. Swagger interpretation and test case derivation. CI/CD Jenkins integration for running automation pipelines. Version Control GitLab for structured code maintenance. BDD/Gherkin with Cucumber. Playwright (UI automation) nice-to-have. Ruby + Cucumber (Selenium) UI automation scripting. Experience 610 years of REST API automation experience using Rest-Assured frameworks and Wiremock for mocks. .
