• Work collaboratively with developers and engineers to support root cause analysis, retesting, and verification of fixes.
• Maintain traceability from requirements → test cases → results → defects, ensuring full auditability and coverage reporting.
• Produce and present test execution reports (test metrics, pass/fail rates, defect trends, release readiness) to stakeholders.
• Support release and change processes, including go/no-go decisions, regression sign-off, and post-release quality monitoring.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by refining testing standards, templates, and best practices, and mentoring others where needed.
• Ensure quality practices align with SDLC/Agile/DevOps delivery models, participating in ceremonies (refinement, sprint planning, reviews).
