QA Associate
85%Based on my review of the job description and R**** Kolli's resume, here is a detailed evaluation of her fit for the QA Automation Analyst role.
Total Score: 85/100
Key Insights:
R**** presents as a very strong candidate, effectively an over-qualified match for the role. Her 11+ years of experience exceed the 8-year minimum requirement, and her recent role as a Software Test Lead demonstrates she is operating at a higher level of responsibility. Her technical skill set is a near-perfect match, with deep, hands-on experience in nearly all the primary and secondary skills listed, including JIRA-Xray, SQL, API testing with Postman and JMeter, and a comprehensive background in SDLC/STLC within Agile environments. The most significant gap is the lack of explicit, recent experience with UFT and SOAPUI, which are specified in the JD, though her extensive expertise with the modern tool Tricentis Tosca may compensate for this. Her career progression from Junior QA Tester to Test Lead shows consistent growth and a solid foundation in quality assurance principles.
