Data provider methods were used in parsing test data sets for testing including staging URLs, staging user id & password combinations before releasing to production
Test data input obtained from files excel files and database tables
Automated user comments to classify and group into its corresponding rating based on given number of stars for items including its product quality & shipping quality information from user feedback
Automated user queries to redirect into a database of pre-existing queries. If a similar query is found, the user is intimated via his corresponding contact information. If no such query is found, his new query is inserted into the database and a corresponding notification is sent to the related team.
