Automation Tester resume that gets past ATS
Automation Tester (SDET) pay in India beats manual-only QA when you own frameworks — roughly 4–14 LPA in services, higher in product fintech with API+UI automation in CI.
Skills language to mirror

ATS tips for Automation Tester
- Playwright/Cypress/Selenium exactly as JD.
- Separate record-and-play from code you maintain.
- API + DB validation keywords for fintech JDs.
- Git and CI tool (Jenkins/GitHub Actions) when true.
Common mistakes
- Record-and-play scripts called a 'framework'.
- No flaky-test or CI stability metric.
- UI-only automation for microservices JD expecting Postman/RestAssured depth.
- Claiming Java automation while only Selenium IDE experience.
