Key Responsibilities

Write and maintain structured test cases covering functional, edge case, and negative scenarios across assigned product areas
Perform exploratory testing to surface issues that scripted test cases may miss
Validate UI behavior against Figma designs, component specs, and acceptance criteria
Raise well-documented bug reports: clear reproduction steps, expected vs actual, environment, and severity
Review tickets and requirements in sprint planning — flag ambiguity, missing cases, and untestable criteria before dev starts
Participate in sprint reviews and demos to validate shipped features against stated goals

Own and maintain the regression suite: test cases kept current with every feature change and release
Execute targeted and full regression cycles before releases, ensuring no silent breakage
Identify recurring regression patterns: document them, escalate them, and work with developers to address root causes
Prioritize regression scope by risk: change impact, critical user paths, and high-traffic workflows
Verify bug fixes without introducing new failures: regression awareness on every re-test

Write and maintain automated UI test scripts using Playwright or Cypress for web application flows
Perform API testing using Postman or similar REST tools: validate contracts, status codes, payloads, and error responses
Understand and contribute to CI/CD-integrated test runs via GitHub Actions or equivalent: test automation triggered on PRs and releases
Convert stable, high-priority manual test cases into automated scripts over time
Use browser DevTools for debugging: network inspection, console errors, element state, and response validation

Validate API behavior using Postman or similar REST tools across functional and edge-case scenarios
Verify request payloads, response structures, status codes, authentication flows, and error handling
Validate frontend-to-backend data consistency across workflows
Perform basic database or backend validation where required
Use browser network tools and API logs to investigate integration and workflow issue

Communicate test status, coverage gaps, and release risks clearly in standups and sprint reviews
Work directly with developers to understand implementation details and test accordingly
Use JIRA or equivalent to manage bugs, test progress, and sprint-level QA status with structured hygiene
- Contribute to QA documentation: test strategies, edge case libraries, and onboarding guides
