“I've had the pleasure of working closely with Abhi in Carousell Pro-Sellers Experience team. During this time, I've learned a lot from him and also enjoyed the experience along the way. He is an absolute professional in what he does, always ensuring that his work adheres to best practices and standards while also maintaining being pragmatic. Moreover, as an engineer, one of the things the I admire the most with Abhi is he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that our test practices become a great experience (rather than a burden). He leads the team to take an approach best suited in the situation. His passion is contagious, and it has inspired other team members to elevate their performance and take a more proactive approach to testing. I recommend Abhi as he is such a great asset to any team that he's in and will be in.”

Upgrading a Mobile Tester's Weapons With Advanced Debugging
Agile Testing Alliance
Functional mobile testers are no more restricted to performing purely black box testing of mobile websites and mobile native/hybrid apps. Moreover, with each team aggressively adopting Agile practices for software development, the barriers between developers and testers are dissolving and there is either an explicit or implicit expectation from testers to be more technical. The term “technical debt” can now get it’s sibling called “technical testing debt” which could basically be the extra…
Functional mobile testers are no more restricted to performing purely black box testing of mobile websites and mobile native/hybrid apps. Moreover, with each team aggressively adopting Agile practices for software development, the barriers between developers and testers are dissolving and there is either an explicit or implicit expectation from testers to be more technical. The term “technical debt” can now get it’s sibling called “technical testing debt” which could basically be the extra testing work that may need to be done because the best approach was not followed earlier.
One of the best approaches that some technical testers follow is:
> Perform a better root cause using a variety of dev tools.
> Obtain a wider coverage of tests due to hack-ability provided by such tools.
> Mobile testing can thus be upgraded to better understand issues and make your developers’ lives easier as you can provide much more information to them in your defects.
This paper describes methods, and approaches that we adopted while testing and debugging mobile websites and native apps for the Android and iOS platforms using a variety of tools and showcase demos of how that can be done.
This paper was submitted and shortlisted for presentation in Global Testing Retreat 2017 conference.Other authors -

Realtime JBoss server status visual and audio notification system
-
Built a web-based real-time JBoss Server status notification system that shows visual and audio based notifications. The web application was a hackathon project at the company and was successfully deployed on internal application server for monitoring JBoss server running and shut-down statuses.
Technology used:
1. PHP (For server side)
2. Google Translate service (For announcing server status in the whole office)
3. C (For status retrieval)
4. HTML, Bootstrap CSS, Jquery…Built a web-based real-time JBoss Server status notification system that shows visual and audio based notifications.

Selenium Debugger
-
Developed a simple selenium debugger, an interactive command line tool that will let you run and debug routine selenium commands (finding an element by various locator strategies, performing actions on the element) without writing any script. This project was part of the one day hackathon "Energizer" that gets held in Xtremum Solutions every month
