Qualifications

7+ years of experience

Cloud-Based Automation Testing Responsibilities

• Implement and manage cloud‑based test execution using platforms such as BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or AWS Device Farm for cross‑browser and cross‑device testing.
• Integrate cloud‑based testing platforms into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) to enable parallel, distributed test execution and reduce feedback cycles.
• Configure and maintain test environments in the cloud, ensuring consistent, scalable, and cost‑effective automation infrastructure.
• Utilize virtual machines, containers, or cloud device grids to simulate real‑world testing conditions across various browsers, OS versions, and mobile devices.
• Monitor and analyze test results from cloud platforms, integrating them with reporting tools and dashboards for visibility across teams.
• Leverage cloud analytics and logs to debug flaky tests, diagnose failures, and optimize test performance.
• Ensure secure handling of credentials, test data, and access control when working in cloud‑based environments.

Simulator, Emulator, and Real IoT Device Testing Responsibilities

• Design and execute automated test cases on simulators and emulators to validate mobile and IoT application behavior in controlled virtual environments.
• Set up and maintain emulator/simulator environments for Android (AVD) and iOS (Xcode Simulator) to support continuous integration and rapid testing workflows.
• Conduct functional, integration, and connectivity testing on real IoT devices, verifying device‑to‑cloud communication, data transmission, and sensor interactions.
• Validate performance, responsiveness, and reliability of IoT applications across simulated environments and actual hardware to ensure consistency and robustness.
• Develop test scripts that adapt to both virtual environments and physical devices, optimizing for reuse and minimal maintenance overhead.
• Capture and analyze device logs, telemetry data, and network traffic to identify issues during real device testing.
• Coordinate with hardware teams and device labs to schedule and manage real device test execution, especially for firmware updates and over‑the‑air (OTA) scenarios.
• Compare results between simulated/emulated and real device runs to detect environment‑specific defects or performance gaps.
• Ensure test cases account for device‑specific limitations, connectivity variations (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, , etc)
