  • You produce or advocate effectively for concise yet comprehensive deployment and release plans for most new product or platform developments within their team.
  • You advise on the severity of issues based on an understanding of the system/product under test.
  • You test components of a system (e.g. web services and API) when integrated end-to-end with clients but also tests at integration points at earliest opportunities when necessary (e.g.in cases where end to end is not ready).
  • You influence the planning and breakdown of work that a development team takes on.
  • You test new software developments across mediums and their model and platform versions (e.g. mobile models).
  • You work with developers to understand test coverage at unit and integration level to better target other testing efforts.
  • You provide concise yet comprehensive testing plans & summaries/evaluations on test results, test progress, and product quality for complex or high-risk product and platform developments where appropriate.
