About Arup Bose

I am excited to announce that I have transitioned from my role at Blackbox to join IBM, where I will be working on the IBM CP4NA cloud-based product. I eagerly look forward to exploring new automation approaches and delving into the existing product. With a Master of Science Degree in Project Management and a passion for Software Automation Testing, I bring over seven years of experience in creating, executing, and reporting automation tests for various web and embedded applications. My expertise includes tools such as Selenium, WinAppDriver, TestNG, Maven, Cucumber, JSON, Postman, REST Assured API, GIT, and SQL. At Blackbox, I served as the Automation Test Lead, spearheading the automation efforts for Deskvue, a cutting-edge product built on Flutter. My responsibilities included strategizing, planning, and executing automation testing to ensure a robust and reliable application. I also gained expertise in the Dart language to create efficient and effective automation scripts. Additionally, I mentored the automation team and coordinated activities to achieve project goals. My previous projects included automating products like Boxilla, RemoteApp, and other embedded Blackbox products connecting transmitters and receivers. I am also a project management enthusiast with a strong background in strategy formulation, risk analysis, project planning, and decision analysis. I excel in customizing reports, data analysis, and leading Test Readiness Review meetings. My responsibilities included handling Combined Test Plan Specifications and End of Test Reports for projects, ensuring quality and compliance. My leadership and governance skills have empowered project teams and stakeholders to deliver successful outcomes. Beyond my professional endeavours, I am a creative soul passionate about painting, sketching, teaching, and engaging with people. I volunteer for multiple activities in Ireland, where I received the President's Volunteer Award (Silver) in 2020 for my dedication to community service.
