Proven experience with Python-based test automation frameworks such as pytest, Selenium, Robot Framework, and others.
Strong understanding of software testing principles and best practices, including functional, integration, regression, and performance testing.
Experience in API testing using Python libraries such as Requests, pytest, or tools like Postman for RESTful and SOAP services.
Proficiency with SQL for database validation, writing queries, and verifying test results.
Experience with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Git, Maven, GitLab, etc., for automation of build and deployment pipelines.
Knowledge of performance testing tools such as Locust, JMeter, or similar tools for simulating high-volume banking transactions.
Strong understanding of the Agile development methodology and how to integrate automated tests into an Agile development cycle.
Good problem-solving and debugging skills, with a focus on delivering high-quality, secure, and reliable banking applications.
Preferred Skills:
Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) and cloud-based test automation.
Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements in the banking sector (e.g., PCI DSS, SOX, GDPR).
Knowledge of microservices architecture and testing in a microservices-based environment.
