You will get practical exposure to:
📱 Android and iOS application testing
🤖 Building and maintaining Appium automation scripts
🧪 Functional, regression, integration and end-to-end testing
🔗 REST API validation using Postman
🐞 Defect reporting and tracking through JIRA
🤝 Working closely with developers to investigate application issues
🧠 Skills Required
🔹 Manual Testing: Functional, regression, integration, system and E2E testing
🔹 Mobile Testing: Android/iOS workflows, device compatibility, installation, permissions, gestures and interruptions
🔹 Appium: Locators, desired capabilities/options, waits, synchronization, assertions and reusable automation code
🔹 API Testing: Postman, REST methods, status codes, headers, JSON and negative scenarios
🔹 JIRA: Defect creation, severity/priority, workflow and defect lifecycle
🔹 Test Design: Test scenarios, test cases, test data and traceability
🔹 Debugging: Application logs, screenshots, reproduction steps and root-cause investigation
🔹 Agile: Sprint testing, daily stand-ups, defect triage and collaboration
🎯 Preparation Tips
1️⃣ Make Appium your priority: Be prepared to explain how you created an Appium framework, selected locators, handled synchronization and executed tests across Android/iOS.
2️⃣ Practice mobile scenarios: Prepare test cases for login, OTP, push notifications, network switching, app installation, background/foreground behavior, permissions, screen rotation and interrupted sessions.
3️⃣ Revise manual testing deeply: Expect scenario-based questions around regression strategy, integration testing, E2E flows, severity vs priority and defect lifecycle.
4️⃣ Strengthen API testing: Practice validating REST APIs in Postman, including positive/negative requests, authentication, response codes, JSON fields and chained API workflows.
5️⃣ Know JIRA practically: Be able to explain how you report a defect with environment, build version, steps to reproduce, expected result, actual result, evidence and severity.
6️⃣ Prepare one automation framework story: Explain the framework structure, test-data handling, reusable methods, reporting, waits, configuration and how you maintain scripts when the application changes.

🔹 HR/Recruiter Screening: Experience, notice period, location and compensation expectations
🔹 Technical QA Round: Manual testing concepts, test scenarios, defects, Agile and real-world QA situations
🔹 Automation/Mobile Round: Appium framework, mobile automation challenges, locators, synchronization and debugging
🔹 API/Practical Discussion: Postman, REST APIs and troubleshooting scenarios
🔹 Managerial/Project Discussion: Previous projects, ownership, collaboration and handling production/release issues
💰 Salary Range
The job post does not disclose an Akivna-specific salary range. As a market reference rather than a company-specific offer, current Gurgaon QA Engineer salary data shows a base-pay range around ₹5–9 LPA, with variation based on experience, company and technical specialization.
Candidates with strong Appium, mobile testing and API automation experience should discuss compensation based on their actual experience and current market position. The final package should be confirmed directly with Akivna.
