Architect and Design: Develop a comprehensive test automation strategy and architecture using Java and Selenium WebDriver. Create and maintain the automation framework, libraries, and tools to support efficient and reliable automated testing.

Automation Development: Write, review, and maintain automated test scripts using Java and Selenium. Ensure the scripts are modular, maintainable, and scalable, covering different levels of testing such as unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.

Framework Enhancement: Continuously improve the test automation framework by incorporating best practices, industry standards, and emerging technologies. Implement innovative solutions to address complex testing challenges.

Collaboration: Work closely with development, quality assurance, and product teams to understand software requirements, identify testing needs, and provide technical insights. Collaborate in the design and implementation of testable software components.

Test Strategy: Contribute to the overall test strategy, test planning, and test case design. Define and prioritize test cases for automation, focusing on maximizing coverage and minimizing risk.

Code Review: Review automated test scripts written by other team members for quality, efficiency, and adherence to coding standards. Provide constructive feedback and mentor junior automation engineers.

Continuous Integration: Integrate automated tests into the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. Ensure that automated tests run reliably and provide timely feedback to development teams.

Test Execution and Reporting: Execute automated test suites and analyze test results. Investigate and report defects, working closely with developers to ensure timely resolution.

Performance and Scalability Testing: Collaborate with performance testing teams to integrate performance and scalability tests into the automation framework. Identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.

Training and Knowledge Sharing: Conduct training sessions and workshops to educate team members on test automation best practices, tools, and techniques. Share knowledge within the organization to promote a culture of quality.
