Megha Prasannan developed and enhanced automated testing frameworks for the NHSDigital/bcss-playwright repository, focusing on migrating legacy Selenium tests to Playwright with Python to improve reliability and maintainability. She implemented the Page Object Model to standardize UI test structures, expanded regression coverage for critical workflows such as Lynch screening and surveillance, and introduced reusable utilities to streamline test authoring. Her work included comprehensive documentation and technical writing, making onboarding and ongoing maintenance more accessible. By integrating robust logging, refactoring utilities, and adopting pytest for selective execution, Megha delivered a scalable, maintainable test automation suite that supports faster, safer releases.
