• Create reusable test modules to validate UI behavior, API responses, authentication flows (JWT/OAuth), and database interactions (MongoDB/MySQL).
• Validate RESTful API endpoints for MERN/Laravel applications using Postman, RestAssured, or similar tools.
• Implement and execute regression, integration, and end-to-end automation for full-stack scenarios.
• Ensure smooth integration of tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps).
• Collaborate with MERN and Laravel development teams to define testability requirements, debug issues, and improve code quality.
• Review backend logs, API schemas, controller logic, middleware, and database models to identify potential quality risks.
• Conduct performance and load testing for Node.js and Laravel services.
• Mentor the QA team on testing best practices and automation strategies specific to JavaScript and PHP ecosystems.

Key Skills:

• Strong proficiency in automation tools: Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium.
• Advanced scripting/programming skills in:
  o JavaScript/TypeScript (for MERN automation, Cypress/Playwright)
  o PHP basics (to understand Laravel workflows)
  o Python/Java (for broader automation and API testing)
• Strong understanding of:
  o React UI architecture, components, props/state, routing
  o Node.js & Express.js API structures, middleware, controllers
  o Laravel framework, MVC structure, routes, controllers, services, migrations
• Solid API testing experience (Postman/Newman, RestAssured, Supertest).
• Experience testing databases such as MongoDB and MySQL.
• Familiarity with mocking, stubbing, and test environments for JavaScript/PHP ecosystems.
• Hands-on experience working with Git, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and cloud services (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Strong analytical skills for debugging API failures, dependency issues, and environment inconsistencies in MERN/Laravel systems.

Experience:

• 2-4 years of automation experience, including testing and automating MERN and Laravel applications.
• Proven experience building automation frameworks supporting modern JavaScript and PHP-based applications.
• Strong background in Agile/Scrum teams working with full-stack (frontend + backend) engineering squads.
