• Prepare user acceptance testing materials, collaborate with business participants, support execution, clarify expected outcomes, and ensure issues and decisions are recorded.
• Support production verification, cutover rehearsals, deployment validation, and hypercare test support with other HERO teams.
• Peer review test artefacts and evidence produced by other analysts and provide practical guidance to improve consistency, completeness, standards and quality.
