Supporting Activities

Outcome/ deliverables

Quality Assurance & Testing

·        Develop and execute comprehensive test strategies, test plans and test cases.

·        Perform functional, integration, system, regression and drives user acceptance testing.

·        Conduct non-functional tests including performance, load, stress and security testing.

Automation Engineering

·        Design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks (UI, API, and integration).

·        Automate repetitive test scenarios to improve efficiency and CI/CD pipeline coverage.

·        Integrate automated tests into build pipelines and ensure reliable test execution.

Collaboration & Delivery

·        Work closely with developers, business analysts and product owners to refine requirements.

·        Participate in Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives).

·        Support the testing lifecycle during deployments and release cycles.

Defect Management

·        Identify, document, and track defects through proper defect management tools.

·        Work with engineering teams to perform root-cause analysis and validate fixes.

·        Ensure defects are resolved within agreed timelines.

Leadership & Best Practices

·        Mentor junior test engineers and guide them on QA techniques and automation.

·        Establish QA standards, improve test processes and promote a quality-first culture.

·        Evaluate new testing tools, techniques and frameworks.

Requirements
