For each project, mention the application type, automation tool, testing scope and measurable impact. For example, quantify regression time reduction, automation coverage, defect detection or execution improvementsβbut only use genuine figures.
Create separate achievement bullets for Playwright/Cypress/Selenium, API automation and SQL validation. If you have automated E2E business workflows, highlight them prominently. Mention Git, JIRA, Agile ceremonies and CI/CD exposure where applicable.
