Key Responsibilities
Design, create, and execute clear, concise, and comprehensive test plans and test cases (both manual and automated) based on product requirements.
Identify, document, and meticulously track software defects using bug-tracking tools (e.g., Azure Devops), ensuring all issues are logged with clear, repeatable steps.
Contribute to and expand our existing test automation frameworks. Write, execute, and maintain automated test scripts for regression suites and new features.
Perform manual and automated API testing (functional, security, and schema validation) using tools like Postman or Insomnia.
Execute manual regression testing, functional testing, and exploratory testing to discover edge cases and usability issues.
Actively participate in an Agile/Scrum environment, attending sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
Collaborate closely with the development team to ensure quality is a shared responsibility.
Verify data integrity in our databases by writing and executing basic SQL queries.
Provide feedback to improve the quality assurance process, testing methodologies, and overall product quality.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
4-8 years of experience in a dedicated software quality assurance role.
