Experience

AutoBot—Back-end API Automation Tool of Kona Card Project

https://github.com/bashiulAlam/api-automation-with-spock.git
This project is developed using Groovy, Java, and Spock framework and supports the behavior-driven and data-driven E2E regression tests. The tool is also responsible for the regression tests of new releases and git commit. This project is integrated with the Jenkins CI/CD pipeline and has a library of 300+ test cases covering the project's regression suite and various corner cases.

Web UI Automation

https://github.com/bashiulAlam/selenium-with-testng.git
The web UI automation project using Selenium in Java language.

We implemented it in the Page Object Model (POM) structure to ensure the reusability of different web elements. Furthermore, we added HTML reporting to execute better tests and improve their results' visibility.

Bug Severity Calculator

https://github.com/bashiulAlam/bug-severity-calculator.git
A simple Java GUI application to calculate the severity of bugs.

We implemented the logic to determine the severity level based on the answers to the three provided questions. The application took the selected answers from the dropdown as input and calculated the severity levels such as blocker, highest, high, medium, low, and lowest.
