• Promote Agile Testing Practices Integrate testing in CI/CD pipelines with the team’s DevOps efforts. Evolve test strategies based on retrospectives and sprint reviews.
• Embrace Creative QA Tactics Use visualization tools to communicate defect trends and insights. Suggest creative test scenarios that uncover hidden performance or UX glitches.

Work Environment
