Company : XTEN-AV
Location : Noida
Employment Type : Full-time
About the Role :
XTEN-AV is hiring an Automation Tester to design, implement, and maintain reliable test automation for web, API, and mobile surfaces. You’ll collaborate with product and engineering to ship high-quality releases faster, with strong ownership of test strategy, framework health, and CI stability.
What You'll Do
- Own the test automation strategy across web / API / mobile; drive shift-left testing with developers.
- Design and maintain robust automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright / Cypress / Selenium / Appium) with clean architecture and reusable utilities.
- Build API automation (REST / GraphQL) including contract tests, schema validation, and negative cases.
- Integrate and stabilize suites in CI / CD (GitHub Actions / GitLab), including parallelization, flaky-test control, and test artifacts (videos, screenshots, logs).
- Implement test data management : deterministic fixtures, environment switches, and stubs / mocks for external services.
- Pair with developers on PR checks, code reviews for testability, and triage of intermittent failures.
- Maintain living documentation : test plans, coverage maps, and runbooks for failures.
Must-Have Skills :
2–4 years in QA automation for web and / or mobile products.Hands-on with at least one UI automation tool : Playwright / Cypress / Selenium (and Appium for mobile, if applicable).Strong API testing & automation : Postman / Newman or REST clients + code-level tests (e.g., pytest + requests, SuperTest, or REST Assured).Solid programming in JavaScript / TypeScript or Python (framework utilities, page objects / screenplay, helpers, assertions).Experience building or extending an automation framework (page objects / screenplay, layers for drivers, selectors, waits, reporting).Comfortable with Git , branching, PR reviews, and CI / CD pipelines (set up, cache, matrix, artifacts).Clear communication, strong ownership, and the ability to debug failures quickly across logs, traces, and screenshots.Tools & Stacks :
Automation : Playwright / Cypress / Selenium; Appium (if mobile)Language & Test Runners : TypeScript / JavaScript (Playwright / Cypress / Jest), or Python (pytest)API : Postman / Newman, or code-based tests (pytest + requests / SuperTest)CI / CD : GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins (parallel runs, artifacts, notifications)Reporting & Quality Gates : Allure / HTML reports, coverage thresholdsVersion Control : GitKey Performance Indicators (KPIs) :
