Develop Testing Strategy and Execution — Design comprehensive test plans, test cases, and scenarios; perform functional testing in development and test environments; coordinate and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with business stakeholders.
Manage Requirements and Artifacts — Create and maintain Azure DevOps work items, backlog documentation, and traceability matrices; participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and requirement review sessions to ensure clarity and completeness.
Facilitate Stakeholder Collaboration — Act as a liaison between business teams and technical resources; lead requirement-gathering workshops, walkthroughs, and discussions; communicate project status, risks, and dependencies clearly to all parties.
Support Quality Assurance — Identify, document, and track defects through resolution; perform regression testing; validate that application functionality meets approved requirements and acceptance criteria.
Drive Continuous Improvement — Identify opportunities to optimize processes, reduce manual work, and improve operational efficiency; support the transition from legacy systems to modernized, cloud-based solutions.
