API Tester-Automation

- Design and execute API test cases for functional, regression, and integration testing across payment systems  • Perform API validation using tools such as Postman, RestAssured, or similar platforms  • Validate request/response structures, payloads, authentication (OAuth, JWT), and error handling  • Support end-to-end testing of microservices and API integrations across multiple systems  • Perform L1/L2 support for API-related issues including log analysis, defect triaging, and coordination with development teams  • Execute API automation suites and contribute to CI/CD pipeline integration for automated testing  • Monitor API performance and assist in identifying bottlenecks, latency, and failure points  • Support release cycles through testing, defect validation, and deployment verification  • Maintain API documentation, test artifacts, and reports using tools like Swagger, Confluence, or SharePoint  • Apply basic AI-driven testing approaches (test case generation, anomaly detection, productivity improvements) - 3 Required Skills & Competencies  Strong communication skills with proficiency in English (verbal and written) for documentation and stakeholder coordination • Hands-on experience in API testing using REST/SOAP services • Good understanding of API protocols, JSON/XML formats, and HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) • Experience with API testing tools such as Postman, SoapUI, RestAssured, or similar • Basic programming knowledge in Java (preferred for automation frameworks) • Strong SQL skills for backend validation and data verification • Understanding of authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, JWT, Basic Auth) • Working knowledge of Linux/Unix and Windows environments for log analysis and test execution • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Git, etc.) and version control systems • Exposure to microservices architecture and API gateways • Foundational understanding of SDLC, STLC, and agile methodologies • Exposure to AI-based testing or prompt engineering is an added advantage • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent
