Lipika Chaliha

With over 11 years of experience in software testing, I am an ISTQB-certified Test Lead and QA Specialist passionate about delivering high-quality, reliable solutions across diverse industries. My expertise spans manual and automation testing, team leadership, and end-to-end quality assurance for web, mobile, and enterprise applications.

My journey in QA began with a strong foundation in manual testing, where I honed my skills in black box, functional, integration, regression, and UAT testing. Over the years, I have worked with leading organizations such as Ameriprise Financial, Publicis Sapient, IBM, NIIT Technologies, and JPTOKYO, contributing to projects in domains like finance, healthcare, insurance, telecom, supply chain, and banking. This diverse exposure has enabled me to adapt quickly, understand complex business requirements, and deliver effective test strategies tailored to each client’s needs.

I have a proven track record of leading QA teams, managing sprint-based testing in Agile environments, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including developers, business analysts, and product managers. My responsibilities have included test planning, test case design, test data preparation, defect tracking, and reporting using tools like JIRA, Confluence, Xray, and TFS. I am well-versed in cloud technologies, having utilized AWS services (S3, Lambda, Athena, EMR) for test automation and data management, and have hands-on experience with Selenium, Perfecto, and Toad Edge.

Clients value my attention to detail, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to continuous improvement. Whether executing comprehensive regression suites, performing API testing, or providing knowledge transfer to new team members, I strive to ensure that every product meets the highest standards of quality and user satisfaction.

What sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between technical and business teams, ensuring clear communication and seamless project execution. I am adept at handling multiple projects simultaneously, prioritizing tasks, and delivering results under tight deadlines. My leadership style is collaborative and supportive, fostering a positive team environment that drives collective success.
