QA Tester (Software Quality Assurance)

Project overview

This contract QA Tester role focuses on end-to-end quality assurance for web applications, including functional, UI, integration, regression, system, exploratory, and release testing. The core requirements are test planning and execution, backend database validation, API testing, and clear defect tracking and reporting using tools such as JIRA. Automation with Cypress, MABL, Selenium, or Playwright, CI/CD exposure, cloud applications, performance testing, and Agile/Scrum experience are listed as good to have.

The description specifies 3–6 years of QA experience, while the structured input gives 2–5 years; this discrepancy should be confirmed, so the target experience band is unclear. The role is contract-based and lists Gurugram, Noida, and Pune; work mode is not specified, and no product or industry domain is stated.

Responsibilities

• Web Application Testing: Perform end-to-end testing of web applications, covering functional, UI, integration, regression, and exploratory testing.
• Test Planning & Execution: Develop detailed test scenarios, test cases, and test scripts based on business requirements, functional specifications, and user workflows.
• Database Validation: Perform backend database testing and validate data integrity, consistency, accuracy, and completeness across application workflows.
• API & Integration Testing: Validate API integrations, request/response payloads, data exchanges, and interactions between frontend, backend, and external systems.
• Defect Management: Identify, document, track, and report defects with clear reproduction steps, supporting evidence, and severity/priority assessments.
• Regression & Release Testing: Execute regression and smoke testing to ensure existing functionalities remain unaffected by new enhancements and releases.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with developers, business analysts, and product stakeholders to understand requirements, clarify expected behaviour, and ensure timely defect resolution.
• Quality Assurance & Reporting: Maintain test documentation, execution reports, defect logs, and test summary reports while ensuring adequate test coverage before releases.
• 3–6 years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, with significant hands-on experience in web application testing.
• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, SDLC, STLC, and defect management processes.
• Proven experience in functional, integration, regression, system, and end-to-end testing of web applications.
• Hands-on experience in backend database validation and verification of data integrity and consistency.
