* API testing - web services / RESTful (using SoapUI, Postman etc)

* Gherkin based BDD framework

* Collaborative skills

* Excellent written and oral communication skills

* Strong problem-solving skills

* Excellent understanding of non-functional requirements, test analysis, software engineering principles and continuous improvement methods
