·       Establish consistent work-item relationships among BRDs/FRs, TSs, TCs, executions, defects, retests, and closure.

·       Use ADO queries and dashboards to communicate progress, blockers, defects, coverage, and release readiness.

Test Design and Execution

·       Coordinate and participate in Smoke, Functional, API, Integration, System, Regression, End-to-End, UAT, Performance-support, Database, and Data Pipeline testing.

·       Ensure failures are reproducible, evidence is complete, and test results are defensible.

Defect and Release Management

·       Lead or participate in defect triage and severity/priority decisions.
