Build and maintain automated API test scripts using Postman, REST Assured, Karate, or equivalent tools.
Backend Database Validation
Write and execute SQL queries to validate that application and API operations result in correct backend behavior (inserts, updates, deletes, state changes).
Verify that business rules are correctly enforced at the database layer, independently of UI or API responses.
Identify data integrity issues, constraint violations, and discrepancies between UI/API outputs and the underlying data.
Validate stored procedures, triggers, and other backend logic where applicable.
