- Start by reviewing requirements and user stories to design or refine test cases.
- Execute manual and automated tests on new features and bug fixes.
- Log defects with detailed notes for developers, collaborating on reproduction.
- Participate in daily standups, providing quality updates on ongoing sprints.
- Review regression test results after each build or deployment.
