• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites that validate product functionality, reliability, and quality.
• Embed automated testing throughout the software development lifecycle, integrating automated regression and validation tests into product CI/CD pipeline(s) providing continuous quality feedback.
• Identify opportunities to improve test coverage, automation, test execution efficiency, and overall product quality.
• Identify repeatable test scenarios that can be considered for automation.
• Contribute to QA process improvement, test coverage enhancement, and overall product quality.
• Ensure test coverage is clear, complete, and aligned to product requirements.
