Deepak Bantu

About

QA automation engineer with deep experience owning end-to-end Cypress/JavaScript test suites (smoke, regression, and API contract tests) integrated into GitHub CI with merge gating and rich reporting. Demonstrated healthcare enrollment domain expertise by catching a critical eligibility versioning/overwrite defect via API + DB assertions that UI tests missed, then hardening the pipeline with contract tests and idempotency checks.

Key Strengths

• Owned and maintained multi-layer automated suite (smoke, regression, API contract) integrated into CI
• Improved coverage by shifting business validations to API tests and adding data-driven edge cases
• Strong defect isolation using controlled test data, API payload validation, and DB-state verification
• Prevented high-impact production issues (payload mapping regressions, permission leaks, filter/pagination bugs)
• Stabilized flaky Cypress tests using intercept-based synchronization and event-driven waits
• Built tiered CI strategy (PR smoke gating + nightly full regression) with actionable reporting/alerts
• Proactive cross-functional collaboration to clarify requirements and enforce testable acceptance criteria
