• Partner with process owners to translate requirements into acceptance criteria and test cases that verify controls and outcomes.
• Integrate ATF execution into the bank s release pipeline and deployment process (e.g., scheduled test runs, pre/post-deployment validations).
• Support automated evidence collection for releases test execution results, defect logs, and traceability to user stories/changes.
• Establish gating criteria (pass/fail thresholds) for promoting changes across environments.
• Expand automation coverage based on risk and production defect trends (shift-left testing).
• Troubleshoot test failures and distinguish between:
• Genuine product defects
• Environmental issues
• Test script fragility/data issues
• Document defects with reproducible steps and collaborate with developers to resolve issues quickly.

Required Qualifications

• 3 7 years of ServiceNow experience, with 1-2 yrs hands-on focus on ATF and platform testing/QA automation.

• Strong analytical troubleshooting skills and ability to triage failures across complex workflows.
