Project Experience
Microservices API Regression Suite
Built comprehensive API regression suite for a microservices-based platform, automating 200+ API endpoints and reducing manual testing effort by 70%. Technologies: RestAssured, Java, TestNG, Jenkins.
Contract Testing Implementation
Designed and implemented contract testing for API integrations, ensuring compatibility between services and preventing breaking changes. Technologies: Pact, Postman, CI/CD, Git.
API Performance Testing
Developed automated API performance tests, identifying bottlenecks and optimizing response times for high-traffic endpoints. Technologies: Newman, JMeter, GitHub Actions, Monitoring Tools.
LLM API Contract Testing
Built automated test suite to validate a GPT-4-powered summarization API endpoint, covering response schema validation, hallucination rate checks, consistency under repeated prompts, and timeout/retry behavior. Integrated with CI pipeline for nightly validation. Technologies: RestAssured, Java, GitHub Copilot, LLM API Testing, GitHub Actions, Pact.
