Experience
Associate Software QA Engineer
Brightpoint Studios Pvt Ltd · Nov 2024 – Present
- • Conducted operational audits of 4+ third-party ad network vendors — verifying event-firing accuracy, reward trigger logic, impression data, and UX policy alignment across rewarded video, interstitial, and banner formats, identifying misconfigurations pre-launch.
- • Validated SDK integrations across 4 ad networks — verifying payout logic, frequency caps, and monetization compliance.
- Prevented revenue-impacting violations across all vendor partnerships.
- • Maintained 100% backend data accuracy across all feature releases by running MySQL and MongoDB validation queries on critical user flows — purchases, progression, and ad reward events.
- • Designed and executed A/B test validation plans across 8+ experiments — verifying variant rendering accuracy, feature flag behaviour, user segmentation integrity, and event data reliability.
- • Authored and maintained 500+ test cases in TestRail covering functional, regression, smoke, sanity, GUI, and integration scenarios — mapped directly to product acceptance criteria.
- • Triaged and drove resolution of 50+ P0/P1 defects in Jira — reducing production incidents by 20% and improving MTTR through structured escalation and fix verification workflows.
- • Improved release stability by ~25% through shift-left testing practices — reviewing requirements pre-sprint and flagging defects 2–3 days earlier per cycle.
- • Standardised UAT sign-off workflows in TestRail — defining exit criteria checklists and quality gates that ensured all release criteria were met prior to every production deployment.
- • Executed end-to-end testing for 20+ features across Android and iOS — validating complete user flows from entry point to backend data confirmation, ensuring cross-platform consistency on every release.
- • Led end-to-end QA for 10+ sprint releases and 5+ hotfix cycles across a live mobile game, maintaining zero critical defect escapes to production.
