• Test Design and Traceability: Write test cases from requirements, user stories, and design specifications, and maintain traceability between requirements, acceptance criteria, and test results.
• AI-Assisted Testing: Use AI tools to accelerate quality work — generating and reviewing test cases, drafting and refactoring automation scripts, and triaging logs and failures — and help test the AI-powered features in our products, including their non-deterministic behavior.
• Defect Management: Identify, log, and track software defects with clear step-by-step reproduction steps, device logs (Xcode/Android Studio)
