• Identify and execute appropriate regression test cases and ensure new changes haven’t adversely affected the performance of other interrelated components.
• Update existing test plans to meet new software and hardware features and components.
• Accurately estimate the time it will take to complete tasks.
• Travel to customer sites for testing and maintenance for up to two weeks at a time will be required.
• Occasionally present new features, functionality and defect fixes to internal and external stakeholders
• Work with team to implement better testing practices, continuous improvement of quality processes.
