PROFILE
Sneha.kambale
Over six months, contributed to the dvsa/vol-functional-tests repository by building and refining automated test suites focused on messaging, authentication, and permit validation workflows. Applied Behavior Driven Development with Java, Selenium, and Gherkin to expand feature coverage, stabilize critical user flows, and enhance accessibility compliance. Integrated automated accessibility scanning and improved test reliability by reducing flaky behavior and optimizing wait strategies. Refactored test files and step definitions for maintainability, updated API integration, and introduced regression tagging for better test organization. The work resulted in faster CI feedback, safer releases, and a more maintainable, accessible, and robust test automation framework.
