Develop, maintain, and execute test cases, test scripts, test data, validation mechanisms, and supporting test artefacts.

Monitor test execution progress and implement dashboard-driven reporting to improve visibility and reduce manual effort.

Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve defects, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful product releases.

Track, manage, and report software defects and quality metrics to both internal and external stakeholders.

Act as a quality advocate and champion testing best practices across Agile Scrum teams.
