Software Quality Engineering

Description
Key Responsibilities:

Test Planning & Strategy:
Develop comprehensive test plans and test strategies for software applications based on requirements and specifications.
Define test cases test data and create a clear roadmap for testing activities.
Automated Testing:
Write maintain and execute automated test scripts using Python and Robot Framework.
Design and develop reusable and scalable automated tests for both functional and non-functional requirements (e.g. performance security).
Integrate automated tests with Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
End-to-End Testing:
Lead and perform end-to-end testing for the entire software product ensuring that all parts of the system work together as expected.
Conduct regression testing smoke testing and functional testing across multiple environments.
Identify reproduce and document defects and work with development teams to ensure timely resolution.
Test Execution & Reporting:
Execute both manual and automated test cases across various platforms (web desktop etc.).
Track report and prioritize defects and issues found during testing ensuring proper communication with relevant teams.
Ensure thorough test coverage by validating the full functionality of the product including edge cases.
Continuous Improvement:
Collaborate with development teams to improve the testing process quality practices and automation strategies.
Participate in daily stand-ups sprint planning and retrospectives to continuously improve testing workflows.
Collaboration & Communication:
Work closely with developers product managers and other stakeholders to clarify requirements review user stories and ensure proper test coverage.
Provide detailed feedback and suggestions to the development team to enhance the quality of the product.
