Job Description for Test Automation Tool Developer

Job Title: Test Automation Tool Developer

Location: India

Job Type: Full-Time

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Test Automation Tool Developer to join our team and contribute to the development of a cutting-edge low-code/no-code test automation platform. This role involves integrating advanced functionalities like Selenium, WebdriverIO or Playwright for test execution, NLP-based or no-code UI solutions for writing test cases, self-healing capabilities for failed tests, and a recorder for capturing test steps in defined NLPs.

Responsibilities:

- Design, develop, and maintain a test automation tool integrating Selenium, WebdriverIO and Playwright for test writing and execution.

- Implement NLP-based or no-code UI solutions to enable non-technical users to create test cases.

- Develop self-healing functionalities to automatically detect and fix failing test cases.

- Build a recorder feature to capture and translate test steps into predefined NLP formats.

- Collaborate with AI/ML engineers to integrate machine learning models for enhanced test automation capabilities.

- Work closely with front-end and back-end developers to ensure seamless integration of various components.

- Optimize the test automation tool for performance, scalability, and reliability.

- Stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in test automation and integrate them into the tool.

Requirements:

Strong Programming Skills:

-  JavaScript and TypeScript, Python

  - Knowledge of additional programming languages such as Java, Ruby or C# is a plus.

  - Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new programming languages and technologies as needed.

Experience with NLP or No-Code UI Solutions:

- Natural Language Processing (NLP):

• Experience with implementing NLP algorithms to interpret and generate human language.
• Ability to integrate NLP solutions into the test automation tool for creating and interpreting test cases.

-  No-Code UI Solutions:

• Experience in developing or working with no-code platforms that allow users to create applications without traditional coding.
• Understanding of user experience (UX) principles to design intuitive no-code interfaces.

Self-Healing in Test Automation:

• Understanding of self-healing techniques to automatically detect and repair broken test scripts.
• Experience in implementing dynamic locators, machine learning models, or heuristic algorithms to identify and fix issues in real-time.
• Ability to analyse test failures and implement strategies to automatically update locators, handle changes in the application under test, and minimize test maintenance.

 Web Recorder Feature in Test Automation:

- Event Listener Integration:

• Implement event listeners to capture user interactions such as clicks, form inputs, navigation, and other relevant actions on the web application.
• Utilize browser APIs or libraries to monitor DOM changes and capture detailed information about each interaction.

- Action Logging:

• Create a logging mechanism to record user actions along with context, such as element identifiers, input values, and timestamps.
• Ensure that logged actions are comprehensive and can be accurately replayed.

- Translating Actions to NLP:

• Develop algorithms to translate recorded actions into predefined Natural Language Processing (NLP) formats.
• Use NLP models to convert user actions into readable and understandable test steps that can be further edited by users.

-Test Step Generation:

• Implement functionality to generate test scripts from recorded actions, allowing users to review and modify the generated scripts as needed.
• Provide options to export test scripts in different formats compatible with Selenium, WebdriverIO, Playwright, or other supported frameworks.

- Integration with Test Automation Tool:

• Ensure seamless integration of the recorder feature with the overall test automation tool, allowing users to incorporate recorded test steps into their test suites.
• Enable users to replay recorded tests, validate their accuracy, and make necessary adjustments.

- Testing and Debugging:

• Rigorously test the recorder feature to ensure it accurately captures and translates user interactions.
• Debug and resolve any issues related to action capturing, logging, and translation to NLP formats.

Preferred Qualifications:

- 5-8 years relevant Experience with other test automation frameworks and tools.

- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).

- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

- Knowledge of software testing methodologies and best practices.
