The candidate should be able to analyze requirements, design effective test coverage, execute manual and automated tests, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with QA, engineering, product, and global teams to deliver high-quality software.
Exposure to Git for version-controlling automated tests, Azure Pipelines or similar CI/CD tools for running automated tests, and familiarity with AI-assisted testing or development tools will be valuable for this role.
What You Will Do
- Plan, design, and execute test cases for functional, integration, regression, exploratory, and end-to-end scenarios.
- Create, maintain, and improve automated test scripts using modern automation tools such as Playwright and Python.
- Identify the right balance between manual validation and automation coverage based on risk, repeatability, and product impact.
- Analyze requirements, participate in backlog refinement, provide test estimates, and define test coverage for user stories.
- Use Git or similar version control tools to manage and maintain automated test assets.
- Log, track, troubleshoot, and validate defects using existing defect management tools.
- Support automated test execution through CI/CD pipelines where applicable.
- Contribute to regression readiness, release validation, test data setup, traceability, and test metrics.
- Collaborate with developers, QA engineers, product teams, and global stakeholders to improve product quality.
- Continuously improve testing practices by identifying opportunities for better automation, stronger coverage, faster feedback, and more reliable validation.
Automation Mindset
- Identify repeatable, high-value scenarios that should be automated.
- Use automation to improve regression coverage, reduce manual effort, and provide faster release feedback.
- Write maintainable automation scripts with focus on reliability, readability, reuse, and ease of debugging.
- Be open to learning new tools, frameworks, and product areas as automation needs evolve.
