1. Test Planning and Strategy: Collaborate with development teams and project stakeholders to understand software requirements and define test strategies. Develop comprehensive test plans and test cases that cover functional, regression, and performance testing.
2. Test Execution: Execute manual and automated tests to verify the functionality, performance, and security of software applications. Identify defects, record detailed bug reports, and track issues to resolution.
3. Automated Testing: Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using testing frameworks and tools. Continuously expand the automated test suite to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
4. Regression Testing: Perform regular regression testing to ensure that new code changes do not negatively impact existing functionality. Automate regression test suites where applicable.
5. Quality Assurance Processes: Contribute to the enhancement and adherence of quality assurance processes, ensuring best practices are followed throughout the software development lifecycle.
6. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with developers, product managers, and business analysts to ensure clear communication and understanding of requirements, timelines, and defects.
7. Performance Testing: Conduct performance and load testing to evaluate software scalability and responsiveness. Identify performance bottlenecks and work with development teams to address them.
8. Test Environment Management: Set up and manage test environments, ensuring they mirror production settings as closely as possible. Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to test environments.
9. Documentation: Document test procedures, test cases, and testing results. Maintain clear and organized records of testing activities and outcomes.
10. Continuous Improvement: Identify areas for process improvement within the QA function. Propose and implement solutions to enhance testing efficiency and effectiveness.
