Stripe

November 1, 2020 – June 1, 2022

Stripe is a leading payment gateway that provides a secure and scalable platform for online payment processing. The project involved testing various modules related to payment transactions, refunds, integrations with third-party systems, and compliance with security standards. As a Software Testing Engineer, I was responsible for validating end-to-end payment flows across web and mobile platforms, ensuring high reliability and performance. The objective was to ensure seamless payment processing, backward compatibility, and robust automation to support frequent releases in an Agile environment. I worked extensively on API automation using RestAssured and Karate Framework for validating REST APIs, contract testing, and end-to-end API workflows. Additionally, I performed event-driven testing using Apache Kafka by validating message flows between producers and consumers, ensuring data consistency across distributed systems. I was involved in UI automation using Selenium WebDriver and mobile application testing using Appium for both Android and iOS platforms. Mobile testing included validating payment flows, OTP authentication, and cross-device compatibility. Additionally, I contributed to CI/CD integration using Jenkins, regression suite maintenance, and defect tracking using Jira. I collaborated closely with developers and product teams to ensure high-quality releases in Agile-Scrum methodology. Responsibilities: • Analyzed change requests, identified impacted areas, and designed detailed test scenarios and test cases. • Performed API automation using RestAssured and Karate Framework, covering REST API validation, contract testing, schema validation, and end-to-end business workflows using BDD approach. • Designed and executed Karate feature files for validating payment workflows, including request/response assertions and data-driven testing. • Integrated API and UI automation suites into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins to support continuous testing and faster release cycles. • Automated UI test cases using Selenium WebDriver and integrated them into the regression suite for release validation. • Maintained and enhanced existing automation frameworks (POM, TestNG, Cucumber), ensuring scalability and reusability. • Prepared Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) to ensure complete coverage of functional and non-functional requirements. • Enhanced automation utilities by implementing dynamic wait strategies using Awaitility and advanced reporting mechanisms. • Developed a mock framework to enable isolated module-level testing, reducing dependency on third-party systems. • Validated backward compatibility of new features with legacy modules to ensure system stability. • Measured and improved automation coverage using JaCoCo, enhancing code coverage and test effectiveness. • Performed log analysis using Linux commands, ElasticSearch, and Kibana for faster defect identification and debugging. • Worked with Kubernetes to monitor and maintain scalable and stable test environments. • Performed event-driven testing using Apache Kafka, validating message flows between producers and consumers after API/UI actions. • Verified Kafka topics, message payloads, offsets, and data consistency across microservices to ensure reliable event processing. • Developed custom Kafka consumers/utilities to validate real-time event data as part of automation testing. • Ensured end-to-end validation by correlating UI actions → API responses → Kafka events → database updates. • Developed and executed automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver with optimized XPath and CSS selectors. • Enhanced test scripts using Java, TestNG annotations, and reusable utilities for better maintainability. • Executed automated UI and API test suites, logged defects in Jira, and tracked them to closure. • Reported testing progress, metrics, and risks to QA Manager and stakeholders regularly. • Gained hands-on exposure to Spring Boot for understanding microservices architecture and supporting backend validation.
