I care about software quality and testing.
Hi, I'm Abhijeet Vaikar, a passionate Software Test Engineer with over a decade of experience in ensuring software quality across e-commerce and healthcare domains. Currently based in Singapore, I specialize in agile testing, test automation, and quality engineering.
I am a strong advocate for the user, combining curiosity, empathy, critical thinking, and a user-centric approach to uncover issues and ensure software delivers value. I focus on understanding user perspectives and anticipating their needs, which has helped in enhancing product quality and user experience..
Throughout my career, I have led efforts to build automated tests and test automation frameworks, implemented shift-left testing practices, and fostered a culture of whole-team quality ownership. My technical expertise spans UI and API test automation, exploratory testing, and usability/UX testing for web and mobile applications.
Beyond my professional work, I actively contribute to the software testing community as a speaker, meetup organizer, and open-source curator. I co-organize the Taqelah quality engineering community in Singapore and maintain the popular testing knowledge hub, How They Test.
In my free time, I enjoy pursuing photography, listening to music, going for long nature walks,reading about tech and testing innovations, networking with fellow test engineers, and continuously learning to improve the craft of software testing.
Presented about dogfooding culture of Carousell and how that is useful to get user-centric feedback before you launch new products.
My talk at SeleniumConf 2020 Virtual on how to treat your end-end tests and framework as first class citizens.
I shared about fundamentals of unit testing (with a working demo) with testing community and how or why testers need to be involved in the process.
I presented this topic to share my experience and learnings on how to ensure high quality of E2E test automation framework and test code written using them.
shared about some of the good practices I have used for debugging Selenium and Appium tests. Presented at Taqelah 2019 Meetup
The talk is about how we should be conscious of the static methods and objects that we freely adopt in automation scripts and how we can adopt techniques like Dependency Injection (DI) to overcome them.
I presented this paper at Agile Testing Alliance's Global Testing Retreat 2017 conference. This paper describes benefits, methods, and approach for performing advanced debugging on mobile applications.
