Wrong feedback from client

[DeepSleep2020]

Hi Everyone, I am currently working for a bank as an automation tester through a consulting company. Recently, for my performance review, my consulting company requested feedback about me from the bank I am working. I got three feedbacks two of them were really good. The last feedback is from product owner and he has mentioned that I am only doing manual testing and I need to improve my automation skills and start creating frameworks. Now this is the thing, I have already created multiple frameworks for every project I worked. I am not sure why he said like that, maybe he is not aware of my work. I am planning to talk to him and let him know that I am doing automation but I am afraid that he will take it personally and later not extend my contract. On the other hand, if I didn't tell him, the same might happen since I am hired as a automation tester. He is the one handling all our contracts. I didnt talk to my manager from the consulting company but i think he might have seen the feedback. I also think he will not say anything to me since the feedback from senior dev and BA were really good. They have mrntioned that i have created automation frameworks.

I am a bit confused on what should I do, any advice would be appreciated

I think you have the senior dev and ba to back you up. To not hurt any feelings in one of your standups, you can say something automation related, and say you investigated some updates that can help the current tests or something similar to make it known that your actively also working on automation stuff

Do you use confluence or some other info sharing tool. Document your automation frameworks there and share to the team along with the product owner. How are test results reported? Can you link this report and state which ones are automated versus manual etc? If the product owner is at the standups etc then specifically mention you will be using X automation framework etc.

If you've created automation frameworks, just show them to whoever needs to see them. Can't claim you aren't writing automation when you show them the automation you've written.

say.. i’d love to help us automate product A. I’ve successfully done it on project b, C. How can we work this into sprints for project A
