• Coordinate and support business stakeholders and subject matter experts through user acceptance testing, including test preparation, execution guidance, progress monitoring and issue follow-up.

Your Technical Capabilities

• Software testing practices across functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, user acceptance and post-release verification testing.
• Test analysis and design, including requirements review, risk assessment, coverage definition, traceability, test data and expected results.
• Defect management capability, including clear reproduction steps, evidence capture, impact assessment, prioritisation, retesting and closure.
• Release assurance skills, including test entry and exit criteria, readiness reporting, deployment validation and post-release stabilisation.
