10. Prepare high-quality documentation (e.g., release notes) for UAT handovers.
11. Question every stage of the lifecycle to ensure quality and identify improvement opportunities.
12. Challenge testing norms and seek innovative testing approaches.
13. Support the QA team and PMO to meet project deadlines.

Requirements

• Experience in web testing, functional testing, UI testing, cross-browser testing.
