· Prepare and execute tests: Review requirements, identify risks and edge cases, create manual and automated test cases, and perform functional, smoke, sanity, regression, UI, integration, and end-to-end testing.

· Contribute to automation: Build and maintain scripts for stable, high-value workflows such as registration/login, role-based access, forms, dashboards, subscription/payment processes, and API integrations.

· Maintain automation assets: Use reusable components and test data, analyse failed runs, fix script issues, capture evidence, and review execution reports; support CI/CD execution where applicable.

· Report and verify defects: Log clear defects, discuss issues with developers, verify fixes, retest, and run focused regression coverage.
