Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines, including triggers, reporting, and evidence collection. Monitor software quality through metrics such as test coverage, cycle time, and production defects. Support exploratory testing and basic non-functional testing, including performance checks and API contract validation. Gather and document business and system requirements, including user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, and process flows. Design technical solutions based on documented requirements and provide clear specifications to development teams. Support developers throughout implementation by clarifying requirements and technical decisions. Participate in solution validation, homologation, and agile ceremonies. Gradually transition from a primary automation-testing focus toward broader systems analysis and solution-design responsibilities.
