Priya Yesare is a Principal SQA Engineer with 20+ years of experience in various industries. At 26 years of age, she is having an immense impact on the practice of software testing. She’s developed cutting edge resources on her own for innovative new self-healing automation testing powered by artificial intelligence. Yesare is changing the way test automation is done. Beyond that, they are creating new models for quality engineering efficiency and resilience.
Starting her professional career in 2004 as a software developer, Yesare developed enterprise applications leveraging VB6 and C#.NET. Her journey into quality engineering had her making impactful contributions on behalf of banks and enterprise applications. Through the years she’s been an integral piece in architecting automation systems. Yet these systems underpin mission-critical operations and process billions of transactions each day.
Yesare also has a master’s degree in computer applications. To this end, he has in the past created a next-generation self-healing automation framework that advanced the whole field of test automation. This state-of-the-art system greatly reduces test maintenance and decreases regression testing cycles. Because of this, it most importantly opens the door to far more agile software development cycles.
Innovations in Self-Healing Automation Testing
Priya Yesare’s self-healing automation framework caught our judges’ eyes for its potential to decrease test maintenance by more than 40 percent. This remarkable innovation enables engineering teams to focus on more strategic work. Now they can save precious hours spent just keeping the old scripts alive. Her framework cuts regression testing time by more than 40 percent. This in turn results in a much shorter development lifecycle, enabling organizations to get better high-quality software into their customers’ hands faster.
At the heart of her framework is the power to leverage asynchronous event streams and containerized microenvironments. By leveraging orchestration technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes, Yesare’s solution can run, heal and report on thousands of tests in parallel. This parallel execution reduces resource cost while dramatically improving test speed, which leads to greater testing efficiency overall.
Yes maintains control of her powers through RESTful microservices, distributed throughout the pipeline. This thoughtful design allows for easy plug-and-play integration with supported CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and others. As such, organizations can implement her framework without needing to completely change their current practices.
Enhancing Platform Resilience and Efficiency
The scale of Priya Yesare’s work goes beyond just realizing efficiency gains. It has realized substantial long-term resiliency across their platform. Her innovations have saved time for security remediation by achieving a 70 percent reduction. This leads to competent, clear, and proactive action to close vulnerabilities faster and with more impact. Such immediate responsiveness does more than safeguard sensitive information—it nurtures trust with end-users, too.
In addition to improving security protocols, Yesare’s approach has led to efficiency improvements of up to 30 percent. This efficiency gain means less engineering team workloads and more of our engineering talent focused on the most high-impact projects. Her efforts have increased general automation coverage by more than 60 percent in only two release cycles. That double-digit growth is a testament to the real life impact her balanced approach has produced.
Yesare’s know-how is cutting edge, even for industry standards. The global AI in software testing market will hit $10.6 billion by 2033, advancing at an extraordinary compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7 percent. The bigger problem is that her skills are now in high demand. The businesses we talk to can’t wait to implement AI-driven solutions into their testing process. Created by professionals such as Yesare are at the forefront of this transformative movement.
Recognition and Future Opportunities
Priya Yesare’s impact on her field has resulted in multiple invitations to speak at major international conferences. She’s sharing her work in the form of presentations at the 2025 Peer Engineering Innovation Summit and the 5th International Conference on Intelligent Vision and Computing. These arenas provide her with opportunities to exacerbate these insights and innovations across the learning landscape. In doing so, she further solidifies her position as a thought leader in the quality engineering space.
She made the jump from software developer to SQA Engineer Lead. This path reflects her dedication to pushing the limits of technology with the goal of improving operations and modernizing the software development lifecycle. As organizations continue to welcome AI-driven solutions to their operations, Yesare’s framework is set to be the foundation to any test automation strategy.
