• Design, build, and maintain automated test scripts using Robot Framework for Salesforce UI and API layers.
• Develop custom keywords using Python or Java to handle complex Salesforce-specific logic (Lightning DOMs, modal windows, conditional flows).
• Perform manual validation of new Salesforce features to:
              > Understand user journeys and business logic before automation.
              > Identify edge cases and reusable automation components.
              > Validate test data setup and boundary conditions for automation.
  
• Create data-driven and modular test cases for Lightning components, flows, approval processes, and integrations.
• Handle complex UI elements with dynamic XPath, Shadow DOMs, and iFrames.
• Use SOQL/SOSL queries to prepare and validate test data.
• Execute and maintain API tests (REST/SOAP) using Robot Framework or Postman.
• Log, investigate, and validate automation defects discovered in CI pipelines.
• Collaborate with developers and manual testers to convert repetitive or high-risk test cases into automation.
• Participate in sprint-level planning for automation coverage and regression impact.
• Integrate scripts into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and generate execution reports.
• Maintain traceability between test cases, requirements, and defects using JIRA.

 Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 2–4 years of experience in Software QC with automation development.
• Hands-on experience with Robot Framework, including SeleniumLibrary, RESTinstance, or Browser Library.
• Programming proficiency in Python or Java for writing automation logic and custom libraries.
• Good understanding of Salesforce objects, Lightning components, flows, and APIs.
• Experience in manual exploratory testing with a focus on workflows, data integrity, and edge conditions that guide automation coverage.
• Working knowledge of version control (Git), test management tools, and Agile methodologies.

Preferred/Good-to-Have Skills:

• Salesforce Admin or App Builder Certification.
• Exposure to performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, K6).
• Experience with Robot Framework tool.
• Understanding of Salesforce Governor Limits and Security/Role-based access testing.
