• Defect Tracking & Resolution: Identify, document and track software defects using our bug tracking system (e.g. Jira). Work closely with developers to reproduce issues, troubleshoot root causes, and verify fixes ensuring timely resolution of all high-priority bugs.
• Regression & Performance Testing: Improve and scale our test frameworks for regression and performance testing. Continuously enhance internal testing tools (e.g. expanding automated regression suites) and contribute to performance testing efforts to ensure the application meets scalability and response time goals
• Quality Best Practices: Ensure that QA best practices and processes are followed at all stages. Proactively review requirements and design documents for testability and provide feedback to improve product quality and user experience.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests into the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Monitor test results from CI runs (e.g. in Jenkins/GitHub Actions) and work with the team to address failures quickly.
