Amrutha Raghavan

I bring extensive experience in leading requirement analysis and defining testing scope by collaborating closely with clients and cross-functional teams, reducing ambiguity and minimizing rework. I have acted as a key liaison between stakeholders and development teams to gather, analyze, and clarify business requirements, while also preparing user stories and acceptance criteria in Agile environments. My expertise includes designing and executing comprehensive test strategies covering functional, regression, integration, GUI, and exploratory testing to ensure high-quality product delivery. I have developed detailed, traceable test plans and test cases using tools like qTest, while maintaining RTM for complete coverage. Additionally, I have hands-on experience in API testing using Postman and database validation using SQL, along with creating structured test data and performing white-box testing where required. I have contributed to automation by developing web test scripts using Playwright with JavaScript, improving efficiency and coverage. I have managed the defect lifecycle using JIRA and Azure DevOps, ensuring timely resolution and effective collaboration with development teams. I proactively identify requirement gaps, conduct peer reviews, and monitor testing progress through reports and quality metrics to meet deadlines and maintain standards. I have also prepared structured test evidence, user manuals, and product documentation to support production releases. My involvement in Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and feature demonstrations has enhanced stakeholder communication and transparency. Furthermore, I have mentored junior team members and developed structured training programs to improve onboarding and strengthen overall QA capabilities.
