- Analyze requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, business rules, workflows, interface requirements, and technical designs to determine testing needs.
- Develop and maintain risk-based test plans, test scenarios, test cases, test scripts, test data, and expected results.
- Validate complex accession-processing workflows, decision logic, business rules, data relationships, integrations, and exception paths.
- Ensure functional test cases are traceable to approved requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and identified risks.
- Maintain traceability among requirements, test cases, test results, defects, corrections, and release decisions.
- Conduct functional, integration, system, exploratory, regression, smoke, and end-to-end testing.
- Develop, execute, maintain, and improve automated regression tests where appropriate.
- Identify stable and high-value test scenarios suitable for automation.
- Support the integration of automated tests into approved build, continuous-integration, or delivery pipelines.
- Prepare and manage representative test data while protecting sensitive information.
- Verify data processing, calculations, field validation, role-based behavior, interfaces, and error-handling logic.
- Execute tests in development, integration, test, staging, or other Government-approved environments.
