PROFILE
Sneha.kambale
Sneha Kambale enhanced the dvsa/vol-functional-tests repository by building and refining automated test suites focused on messaging, authentication, and permit validation flows. She applied Behavior Driven Development with Java, Selenium, and Gherkin to expand regression coverage, stabilize critical user journeys, and reduce flaky test behavior. Her work included refactoring test files, updating step definitions, and introducing targeted waits and page load strategies to improve reliability and maintainability. By aligning tests with evolving API versions and cleaning up redundant or outdated scenarios, Sneha delivered faster CI feedback and more robust end-to-end coverage, demonstrating strong depth in test automation engineering practices.
