- Participating in Agile Ceremonies
Approximately 90% of regression test cases were automated, reducing manual testing effort by 60–70%.
API Testing in These Domains
Both applications integrate with third-party backend services.
API testing was performed using Postman.
Healthcare APIs
Validated:
- Insurance Policy Validation API
- Patient Claim Submission API
Verification included:
- Response Codes
- Response Schema
- Data Consistency
Insurance APIs
Validated:
- Policy Validation API
- Claim Submission API
- Premium Calculation API
Verification included:
- Response Code
- Response Time
- JSON Data Structure
APIs were validated before UI testing.
Shared Framework, Challenges & Achievements
Automation Framework
Both projects used the same Hybrid Automation Framework.
Framework approach:
- Data-Driven Framework
- Keyword-Driven Framework
Technology stack:
- Selenium
- Java
- TestNG
- Maven
- Page Object Model (POM)
Supporting tools:
- Extent Reports
- Git
- Jenkins
The framework also supported:
- Parallel Execution
- Excel-based Data-Driven Testing
- Properties File Configuration
Common Challenges
Dynamic Test Data
Patient IDs, Claim Numbers, and Policy IDs were automatically generated for every execution.
Solution:
- Excel-based Data-Driven Testing
- Dynamic Data Retrieval using APIs
Synchronization Issues
Claim Processing and Approval modules required additional processing time.
Solution:
- Explicit Waits
- Fluent Waits
Complex Business Rules
Examples included:
- Billing Calculations
- Tax Calculation
- Discount Calculation
- Premium Calculation
- Coverage Validation
Solution:
- Custom Reusable Utility Methods
Shared Achievements
- Regression execution reduced from 3 days to 4 hours
- 60–70% manual effort reduced (Insurance Project)
- Daily/Nightly Jenkins execution
- Automatic report generation
- Improved early defect detection
