Automation Tester | Cognizant Technology Solutions Current Role In my current role at Cognizant, I focus on the intersection of quality and efficiency. I don’t just "run tests"—I ensure that the core insurance platforms our clients rely on are resilient, seamless, and ready for the real world. My work centers on the GuideWire InsuranceSuite (ClaimCenter, PolicyCenter, and BillingCenter), where I bridge the gap between complex technical requirements and high-quality user experiences. I believe that automation is most powerful when it’s strategic. By leveraging Tricentis Tosca, I’ve moved beyond basic scripts to build robust automation frameworks that catch issues before they reach production. Whether it’s validating critical data flows through API testing or ensuring system stability during high-stakes updates, my goal is to provide the peace of mind that comes with a "green" build. Key Contributions & Impact: End-to-End GuideWire Expertise: I lead the quality assurance efforts across the full GuideWire suite, ensuring that policy lifecycles, billing cycles, and claims processing are handled with 100% accuracy. Strategic Automation with Tosca: I design and maintain automated test suites that significantly reduce manual effort, allowing our team to focus on high-level problem solving while maintaining a rigorous Regression and Smoke testing schedule. Comprehensive Testing Lifecycle: From the structured discipline of Sanity testing to the creative "what-if" scenarios of Ad-hoc testing, I ensure no stone is left unturned. Performance & Reliability: I integrate Performance testing into our workflow to ensure that as our client’s business grows, their systems remain fast and responsive under pressure. API Integrity: I manage rigorous API testing protocols to ensure seamless communication between internal modules and third-party integrations, preventing data silos and system bottlenecks.
