• Analyze business processes and contribute to requirement gathering and documentation.
• Build and maintain automation frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or similar).
• Use AI-powered testing tools (e.g., intelligent test case generation, predictive defect analysis, smart exploratory testing) to enhance productivity and test coverage.
• Research emerging AI trends in quality engineering and recommend solutions to improve QA efficiency.
• Participate in sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives to ensure QA coverage across the SDLC.
• Identify, document, and track defects through issue management tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps).
• Drive continuous improvement of QA processes, standards, and best practices.
