• Contribute to the overall testing strategy, including traceability between requirements, test cases, and results.
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and document issues discovered during automated and manual testing.
• Monitor the health of the test automation framework and proactively identify opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with development and operations teams to ensure alignment of testing efforts with system requirements.
• Execute existing manual test procedures where necessary and document findings.
• Support Agile ceremonies and practices in alignment with SAFe methodologies.
• Use Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket) for documentation, source control, and tracking development activities
