The QA Analyst Role

• Create, maintain, and execute test plans, test cases, and test scripts across multiple applications and environments.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing.
• Log, prioritize, and track defects with clear documentation and reproducible test steps.
• Validate fixes and enhancements prior to release, ensuring all deployments meet quality expectations.
• Assist in the maintenance of test data, test environments, and structured testing documentation.
• Support light API validation and basic database checks (e.g., running simple SQL queries, reviewing logs).
• Participate in sprint ceremonies and advocate for quality during planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Help refine and strengthen internal QA processes, tooling, and best practices.
