Karthikeyan S

At Cognizant, I serve as an Associate, contributing to automation initiatives by leveraging skills in JavaScript, Playwright, and Leapwork. I have previously held positions as a Programmer Analyst and Programmer Analyst Trainee at Cognizant, focusing on quality engineering processes and functional testing. 

I am an Automation Test Engineer around 3 years of experience in designing, developing, and maintaining scalable automation frameworks. Currently, I’m working at Cognizant, where I contribute to end-to-end test automation for web applications.

My primary expertise is in Playwright with JavaScript, where I have built reusable automation frameworks using the Page Object Model. I’m experienced in writing robust test scripts, handling iframes, dynamic locators, API validations, and integrating test suites with CI/CD pipelines.

I have worked closely with developers, business analysts, and DevOps teams in Agile environments. Along with automation, I have solid experience in functional testing, regression testing, defect tracking, and test case design.

I focus on writing maintainable, scalable code and continuously improving execution time and test coverage. My goal is to grow into a more advanced automation and DevOps-aligned role while contributing high-quality, reliable releases.

“I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. During my course, I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills through subjects like programming, control systems, and electronics. Alongside my core subjects, I built interest in software and IT, which led me to learn programming and software testing concepts. That transition helped me move into the QA and automation domain, where I now apply my logical thinking and technical skills effectively.
