Automation Engineer

Automation Engineer at Wipro

The Automation Engineer role at Wipro focuses on designing, programming, simulating, and testing automation products and processes to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This position is central to evolving Wipro's digital transformation initiatives.

Understanding Requirements and Design

Instrumental in understanding software requirements and product design. You will analyze existing technology architecture, system interdependencies, and application stacks. This involves formulating project plans in collaboration with project management and outlining development steps. Furthermore, you will understand current operating procedures by consulting with users/partners/clients and reviewing project objectives regularly. Contribute to the automation roadmap design and testing process improvements by researching automation architectures and developing new automation solutions. Your work will involve improving and maintaining the automation framework to be used horizontally across our technology stacks, as well as building out reusable libraries across our business line verticals.

Software Development and Reporting Execution

You will design and execute software development and reporting, ensuring the environment is ready for the execution process. This includes designing test plans, developing test cases/scenarios/usage cases, and executing these cases. You will be responsible for the development of technical specifications and plans and the resolution of complex technical design issues. Participate in and conduct design activities with the development team relating to testing of the automation processes for both functional and non-functional requirements. Implement, track, and report key metrics to assure full coverage of functional and non-functional requirements through automation. Eliminates errors by owning the testing and validations of codes. Track problems, resolutions, and bug fixes throughout the project and create a comprehensive database of defects and successful mitigation techniques. Provide resolutions to problems by taking the initiative to use all available resources for research. Design and implement automated testing tools when possible, and update tools as needed to ensure efficiency and accuracy. Develop and automate processes for software validation by setting up and designing test cases/scenarios/usage cases, and executing these cases. Develop programs that run efficiently and adhere to Wipro standards by using similar logic from existing applications, discussing “best practices” with team members, referencing textbooks and training manuals, documenting the code, and by using accepted design patterns.

Ensuring Smooth Communication

Work with Agile delivery teams to understand product vision and product backlogs; develop robust, scalable, and high-quality test automation tests for functional, regression, and performance testing. Assist in creating acceptance criteria for user stories and generate a test automation backlog. Collaborate with the Development team to create/improve continuous deployment practices by developing strategies, formalizing processes, and providing tools. Work closely with business Subject Matter Experts to understand requirements for automation, then designs, builds, and deploys the application using automation tools. Ensure long-term maintainability of the system by documenting projects according to Wipro guidelines. Ensure quality of communication by being clear and effective with test personnel, users, developers, and clients to facilitate quick resolution of problems and accurate documentation of successes. Provide assistance to testers and supports personnel as needed to determine system problems. Ability to perform backend/database programming for key projects. Stay up-to-date on industry standards and incorporate them appropriately. Design and implement automated testing tools when possible, and update tools as needed to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
