- Execute business scenarios in UAT environments, capturing results with clear evidence and detailed defect documentation.
- Document defects and testing outcomes in JIRA, ensuring accurate prioritization, reproducibility, and lifecycle management through triage and closure.
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to clarify questions, remove blockers, and drive timely resolution of issues impacting testing milestones.
- Provide regular, concise status updates to stakeholders and leadership, summarizing progress, risks, coverage, and key decisions needed.
- Maintain complete and current testing artifacts (plans, scripts, traceability, execution evidence, and sign-offs) in approved repositories and tools.
- Reconcile outcomes across test cycles and participant groups, leading investigation and resolution of discrepancies and retest requirements.
- Improve UAT efficiency and effectiveness by adopting process enhancements and leveraging AI-assisted test design, accelerators, dashboards, and workflow automation.
