• Enable tagging, modularization, and classification of failures to support large-scale execution across FO modules.

Test Planning Execution

• Prepare, review, and maintain QA artifacts (test plans, cases, regression suites, reports).
• Ensure complete test coverage-functional, integration, API, end-to-end, performance, and batch job validation.
• Oversee defect triage, prioritization, and root cause analysis.
• Coordinate environment setup, test execution, and regression cycles across Dev/UAT/Prod releases.

Performance Reliability Oversight

• Collaborate with performance engineers to define SLAs and gather non-functional requirements.
• Monitor bottlenecks, flakiness.
• Integrate performance regressions into CI/CD pipelines for timely detection of issues.

Continuous Integration / DevOps Coordination

• Enable development teams with regression test suites for shift-left validation of breaking changes.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated test execution in Azure DevOps and GitHub.
• Support deployments, verification cycles, and parallel release testing across ERP environments.

Reporting Governance

• Track KPIs such as defect density, test coverage, execution reliability, and automation ROI.
• Prepare dashboards, quality reports, and provide regular updates to stakeholders.
• Manage risks, dependencies, and ensure timely delivery of quality outcomes.
