Quality Engineer (Playwright)

Role: Playwright QE

Experience: 7+ Years

Work location: Hyderabad (Hybrid work mode)

Duration: Long-term

Job Description:

We are seeking a skilled and proactive QA Automation Engineer with strong expertise in Playwright (C#), web application testing, and CI/CD integration to design, develop, and maintain scalable, reliable, and maintainable end-to-end test automation frameworks. The ideal candidate will be instrumental in accelerating test execution, improving test coverage, and ensuring high-quality software delivery across enterprise web applications

Roles and Responsibilities:

1.Test Automation Framework Development & Maintenance

• Design, build, and maintain a robust, modular, and reusable Playwright (C#) automation framework for web applications.
• Implement Page Object Model (POM), BDD (Gherkin + SpecFlow), and custom reporting (e.g., Allure, Extent Reports) for enhanced readability and traceability.
• Integrate AI/ML-based self-healing mechanisms (e.g., dynamic locator selection, image-based validation) via the AiDE platform to reduce flakiness and maintenance overhead.
• Ensure framework supports cross-browser testing (Chrome, Firefox, Edge), mobile responsiveness, and headless execution.

2. End-to-End (E2E) Test Script Development

• Develop and execute high-quality, stable, and maintainable test scripts using C# and Playwright for complex user workflows (e.g., login, form submission, navigation, data validation).
• Automate critical business flows such as user onboarding, checkout, enrollment, and data import/export.
• Implement data-driven testing using external sources (Excel, JSON, SQL) and parameterized test cases for scalability.
• Support regression, smoke, sanity, and integration testing across multiple environments (Dev, Test, UAT, Prod).

3. CI/CD Integration & DevOps Collaboration

• Integrate automated tests into Azure DevOps pipelines (YAML) or Jenkins for automated test execution on every build.
• Configure parallel test execution to reduce test suite runtime and improve feedback loops.
• Implement test reporting and dashboards (e.g., via Azure DevOps Test Plans, Allure, or Power BI) for real-time visibility into test health and quality metrics.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to manage test environments, test data, and pipeline orchestration.

4. Test Data Management & Environment Stability

• Work with backend teams to ensure consistent and clean test data setup and cleanup using APIs, SQL scripts, or test data factories.
• Develop test data generation tools in C# to simulate realistic user scenarios.
• Ensure test stability by handling flaky tests, timing issues, and network latency through retry logic, wait strategies, and synchronization mechanisms.

5. Debugging, Reporting & Collaboration

• Investigate and resolve test failures with root cause analysis, leveraging logs, screenshots, videos, and network traces.
• Document test results, defects, and automation gaps in Jira, Azure DevOps, or Confluence.
• Collaborate with developers to reproduce and validate fixes.
• Provide regular updates on automation progress, coverage, and defect trends to stakeholders.
