Analyse business and functional requirements to design comprehensive test scenarios, test cases, and test

Execute functional, regression, smoke, sanity, integration, system, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

across web and enterprise applications.
Perform exploratory testing to uncover edge cases and usability issues not covered by scripted test cases.
Log, track, and manage defects through their full lifecycle identification, triage, retesting, and closure —

using a defect tracking tool (e.g., JIRA).
Validate REST APIs and backend responses using tools such as Postman, including request/response and

Perform basic backend and data validation using SQL queries against relational databases.
Maintain and update the Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) to ensure full test coverage.

Participate actively in Agile/Scrum ceremonies — sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives — and provide

QA input during grooming.
Prepare and maintain explicit test documentation: test plans, test cases, test summary reports, and defect





reports.
Collaborate with developers to reproduce, troubleshoot, and verify the resolution of reported defects.
Contribute to continuous improvement of QA processes, checklists, and testing standards.

Required Skill & Qualification:

Strong understanding of STLC, SDLC, and Agile/Scrum methodologies.
Proven experience writing explicit, thorough test scenarios, test cases, and test plans from requirements/user

stories.
Hands-on experience with defect tracking and test management tools such as JIRA, Azure DevOps, TestRail,

Zephyr, or similar.
Working knowledge of API testing using Postman (request construction, response/status validation, basic

assertions).
Working knowledge of SQL for backend/data validation.
Solid grasp of different testing types: functional, regression, smoke, sanity, integration, UAT, and

exploratory testing.
Excellent attention to detail, analytical thinking, and defect-reporting clarity.
Solid written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration with developers, BAs, and

product owners.
