- Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution in close coordination with functional and technical teams.
- Partner with implementation teams, data/integration teams, and business stakeholders to ensure complete test coverage across all go-live milestones.
- Support UAT cycles, including defect triage, retesting, and preparation of sign-off documentation ahead of each wave deployment.
