What You'll Own
Lead formal QA/UAT validation on the Lease Accounting Tool: convert the existing dev-side evidence (Unit, Integration, Exception, Edge Case, and Lease Calculation Test Reports) into a signed-off UAT record with business reviewer sign-off.
Coordinate and document the external GASB 96 benchmark validation — currently the tool's only unresolved accounting-engine gap.
Build the Book Close Agent's first formal Testing Report and Production Readiness Report — this application currently has zero equivalent documentation despite being architecturally complete.
Design and maintain automated test suites (pytest for backend,
appropriate frontend testing for React/Vite) and wire them into the CI pipeline (in partnership with the incoming DevOps hire).
Own regression testing for every bug-fix cycle, following the Issue-vs-Resolved comparison methodology already established on the Lease tool (pre-fix vs post-fix output diffing across fiscal periods).
Run REST API test suites (a 20-request Postman collection already exists for the Lease tool, covering auth, clients, leases, admin, and reports) and extend equivalent coverage to Book Close Agent's FastAPI endpoints.
Track and close out flagged 'confirm intent' items (e.g. rollforward sign convention, finance-column suppression) by looping in business/accounting reviewers.
Maintain a defect tracking and severity classification process (Critical/High/Medium/Low) consistent with what's used in the current Production Readiness Report.
