Kannnan M.

Architected a Playwright automation framework using Page Object Model (POM) with reusable fixtures and custom commands within an Agile Scrum team. Designed and executed over 100 structured manual test cases for patient-facing workflows before transitioning to Playwright automation, while maintaining a balanced approach to exploratory and edge-case coverage. Automated more than 100 patient workflow scenarios that included appointment scheduling and provider search, integrating both UI and API testing in a unified Playwright suite. Employed Playwright request() for API validation, checking endpoint schemas and HTTP responses. Developed BDD test scenarios utilizing Cucumber Gherkin to align tests with business requirements. Executed parallel tests across multiple browsers, significantly reducing browser-specific defect rates and test cycle times. Conducted performance testing on APIs via JMeter, ensuring compliance with service level agreements. Configured Allure Reports to enhance defect triage processes and published test suites to multiple CI/CD platforms enabling automated runs on every pull request. Managed the defect lifecycle using JIRA from identification to resolution, providing comprehensive reports for stakeholders.

Designed and implemented over 100 end-to-end test cases for various functionalities such as login and checkout for an e-commerce platform, subsequently migrating critical paths to Playwright automation. Built a regression testing suite in Playwright using data-driven JSON datasets and POM architecture, achieving substantial automation coverage of e-commerce user flows. Conducted REST API testing with Playwright request() context, verifying schemas and handling of API responses across critical service transactions. Performed load tests on key APIs using JMeter, identifying performance bottlenecks and facilitating performance improvements. Configured Allure Reports to provide insights into testing outcomes, linking defect details from JIRA for deeper analysis. Managed CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub Actions, ensuring efficient testing processes, and actively resolved defects in collaboration with development teams to support release readiness.
