# Nora Saben > QA Automation Engineer | Software Test Engineer | US Citizen Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/norasaben As a QA Automation Engineer, I leverage my expertise in Java, Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, and TestNG to develop and maintain strong test automation frameworks. I have successfully implemented Page Object Model design pattern for code reusability and maintainability, and automated API testing using REST Assured and Postman. I also designed and executed Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) test scenarios with Cucumber and Gherkin, improving collaboration between technical and non-technical stakeholders. Additionally, I perform SQL queries and JDBC database validations to ensure data accuracy and integrity across systems. Prior to joining Mastercard, I worked as a QA Automation Specialist at Evolent Health, where I automated workflows using Selenium WebDriver and Java with TestNG, conducted detailed API testing using Postman and Rest Assured, and verified backend processes with SQL queries. I also developed reusable test scripts for regression and functional testing, and mentored junior QA engineers, improving team productivity in automation. I hold an Associate's degree in Business Administration and Management from LaGuardia Community College, and two Bachelor's degrees in Business Administration, Management and Operations, and Language Interpretation and Translation from K.Zhubanov State University. ## Work Experience ### Software Test Engineer @ INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP OPERATING CORP Jan 2024 – Present | Atlanta, GA •Developing and maintaining automated test scripts for functional testing. •Executing a Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) framework integrated with Cucumber, delivering exceptional results fortifying quality assurance practices and bolstering product reliability •Automating test cases for web-based applications using Java, Selenium WebDriver, and JUnit. •Identifying, log, and track defects using Jira, and collaborate with development teams to ensure timely resolution •Collaborating with teams in utilizing version control systems GitHub to manage test scripts and ensure version traceability. •Analyzing comprehensive smoke and regression test suites using Jenkines, ensuring software quality and stability across new feature releases and system updates. •Conducting code reviews and ensure compliance with coding standards and best practices within the test automation team. •Providing mentorship, training, and support to junior QA engineers, fostering skill development and knowledge sharing within the team ### QA Automation Engineer @ Mastercard Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New York, United States •Developed and maintained strong test automation frameworks using Java, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, for efficient and scalable testing. •Implemented the Page Object Model POM design pattern to enhance code reusability and maintainability within the automation framework. •Implemented API testing using REST Assured library for automation and Postman for manual verification according to Swagger documentation, accelerating detection of API-related defects. •Designed and executing Behavior-Driven Development BDD test scenarios with Cucumber and Gherkin to improve collaboration between technical and non-technical stakeholders. •Set up Jenkins pipelines for smooth integration and deployment of automated tests in CI/CD. •Logged, tracked, and managed defects using JIRA and collaborating closely with development teams for timely resolutions. ### QA Automation Specialist @ Evolent Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 | Arlington, Virginia, United States •Transformed a significant portion of manual testing into automated processes using Java and Selenium, reducing regression testing time and ensuring reliable test execution across multiple browsers. •Designed and maintained Data-Driven Testing (DDT) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) frameworks, enhancing test coverage and reliability. •Designed and developed test suites using TestNG, maintained, evaluated, and reported test results to the Team Lead while collaborating with teammates using Git and GitHub for source control and repository management. •Built a modular automation framework in Java, leveraging JDBC for efficient database validations and backend testing, including SQL query validation. •Followed STLC and SDLC phases of Agile Scrum, investigated defects, and interacted with developers to resolve issues ## Education ### Associate's degree in Business Administration and Management, General LaGuardia Community College Jan 2019 – Jan 2023 ### Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management and Operations K.Zhubanov State University Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 ### Bachelor's degree in Language Interpretation and Translation K.Zhubanov State University Jan 2009 – Jan 2013 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/nora-saben --- Source: https://flows.cv/norasaben JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/norasaben/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
