As a Software Tester in the Airline domain, I ensure quality, reliability, and performance of airline booking and distribution systems built on IATA NDC. I validate API integrations, UI workflows, and backend processes across flight search, booking, payment, and order management — with hands-on experience across 6+ production releases, and growing use of AI-assisted workflows for faster, smarter testing. Key Responsibilities • API testing via Postman, validating XML/JSON payloads against NDC schemas and business rules. • Test NDC Offer & Order workflows, ensuring accurate integration with airline systems, PSS, GDS, and third-party services. • Build and maintain UI automation using Selenium WebDriver with Python for search, booking, fare, ancillary, and payment flows. • Executed production/release testing across 6+ releases — smoke testing, post-deployment validation, and go-live sign-off support. • Use GenAI tools to accelerate test case design — generating edge cases, test data, and regression checklists from requirements. • Apply AI tools for daily productivity — drafting defect reports, summarizing requirements, and speeding up documentation. • Execute functional, regression, smoke, integration, and UAT testing across QA/UAT environments. • Maintain test cases, test plans, regression suites, and defect reports aligned to Agile sprints. • Log and manage defects via JIRA and Azure DevOps, collaborating with devs, BAs, and product teams. • Support CI/CD testing for stable, high-quality releases.
