• Monitor performance test results and provide recommendations to improve application scalability and user experience.
4. AI-Assisted Quality Engineering
• Utilize AI-powered tools to accelerate test case generation, automation scripting, test data creation, defect analysis, and testing documentation while validating the accuracy and quality of AI-generated outputs.
• Evaluate and adopt AI-assisted testing techniques to improve testing effectiveness, productivity, and software quality.
• Apply AI tools responsibly to enhance test coverage, identify potential risks, and optimize testing workflows.
5. Test Documentation & Reporting
• Prepare, maintain, and deliver testing artifacts, including test plans, test cases, test data, traceability matrices, test execution reports, defect reports, and test summary reports.
• Provide accurate testing status updates, quality metrics, defect summaries, and risk assessments to project stakeholders.
6. User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
• Support User Acceptance Testing by preparing test cases, assisting with test environments, coordinating with stakeholders, executing UAT scenarios, and validating business requirements.
• Ensure UAT activities are completed successfully before production release.
7. Defect Management & Root Cause Analysis
• Investigate, identify, and document root causes of software defects while collaborating with development teams to support timely resolution.
• Assist developers in reproducing and validating reported issues within test environments.
• Analyze recurring defects and recommend preventive quality improvements.
8. Requirements Analysis & SDLC Participation
• Review business and functional requirements to ensure completeness, testability, and adequate test coverage.
• Participate in all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including requirements analysis, test planning, execution, validation, and release activities.
9. Knowledge Sharing & Team Collaboration
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level QC engineers on testing best practices, automation techniques, AI-assisted testing tools, and quality processes.
• Collaborate closely with development, product, business, and infrastructure teams to ensure high-quality software delivery.
10. Quality Improvement
• Contribute to improving testing methodologies, quality standards, templates, automation practices, AI-enabled quality engineering processes, and performance testing strategies.
• Identify opportunities for process improvement and recommend solutions to improve product quality and testing efficiency.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent education and work experience.
• 6+ years of hands-on experience in software quality control/testing.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in manual testing (functional, regression, integration, end-to-end).
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in test automation (framework development, scripting, CI/CD integration).
• Professional certification such as ISTQB-CTFL or ISTQB-CTAL.
• Proven hands-on experience executing both manual testing (functional, regression, integration, end-to-end) and test automation (framework development, scripting, CI/CD integration).
• Proficiency in test automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Appium, TestNG, JUnit, or similar) with the ability to write, debug, and maintain automation code.
• Proficiency in performance testing tools and frameworks (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling, k6, or similar) with the ability to design, execute, analyze, and optimize performance test scenarios.
• Demonstrated experience preparing and delivering complete testing artifacts (test plans, test cases, traceability matrices, defect reports, test summary reports).
• Track record of owning UAT cycles and driving them to successful completion.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to personally identify bugs, analyse root causes, and drive resolution.
• In-depth knowledge of testing methodologies, phases, and approaches, including functional, regression, integration, performance, and end-to-end testing.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with QC, development, and business groups.
• Ability to multi-task, triage issues, react well to changes, and work independently or in a team setting in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent command of written and spoken English.
