• Design and execute robust end-to-end (E2E) test scenarios covering critical user journeys (e.g., registration, subscription lifecycle, payment processing, profile management).
• Drive the adoption of AI/ML-based testing tools and techniques to:
• Collaborate with R&D and AI teams to pilot new testing innovations and integrate them into production workflows.
• Provide executive-level reporting on QA metrics: defect density, test coverage, automation percentage, release stability, cycle time reduction.
Serve as the primary QA liaison between business stakeholders, delivery managers, and technical teams.
