Responsibilities

Test Planning & Design:
Review and analyze software requirements, specifications, and technical design documents to understand product features and functionalities.
Develop comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scenarios based on functional and non-functional requirements.
Identify test data requirements and prepare test data for various testing activities.
Contribute to the estimation of QA efforts and timelines for project sprints.
Test Execution & Defect Management:
Execute test cases manually and/or using automated test scripts across different platforms (web, mobile, desktop) and environments.
Perform various types of testing, including functional, regression, integration, system, performance, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
Accurately identify, document, and track software defects and bugs using a defect tracking system (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps).
Collaborate with development teams to ensure timely resolution of defects, providing clear steps to reproduce and necessary logs.
Perform re-testing and regression testing after bug fixes and new feature implementations.
Test Automation (if applicable):
Develop, maintain, and execute automated test scripts using industry-standard automation frameworks and tools (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, Postman for API testing).
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous testing efforts.
Analyze automation test results and report failures, ensuring the stability of automated test suites.
Process Improvement & Collaboration:
Actively participate in agile ceremonies (e.g., sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives) to provide QA insights and estimates.
Collaborate closely with product owners, developers, and other QA team members to ensure a shared understanding of quality goals.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of QA processes, methodologies, and tools.
Maintain and update QA documentation, including test plans, test cases, and knowledge base articles.
Reporting:
Provide regular updates on testing progress, defect status, and overall quality to the project team and stakeholders.
Prepare test summary reports for releases.
