In this role, you will
- Execute and oversee System Integration Testing (SIT) activities to validate interface interactions, data flows, and system dependencies across complex application bundles.
- Coordinate test environment readiness, manage test data provisioning, and ensure configurations mirror production-like integration setups.
- Perform rigorous system integration testing across interconnected applications, microservices, databases, and third-party APIs to verify data integrity and smooth communication flow.
- Identify, isolate, log, and track software defects through to resolution using defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA), collaborating directly with development teams for rapid troubleshooting.
- Conduct weekly release status meetings with cross-functional teams to review progress and risks, monitor release milestones, and communicate status updates to key stakeholders.
- Analyze functional requirements, system specifications, and integration architecture to design comprehensive SIT test plans, scenarios, and test cases.
- Coordinate implementation activities and log any release-related incidents or issues during Go-Live.
- Participate in daily Agile ceremonies, review peer test cases, and provide clear execution metrics, status updates, and test coverage reports to stakeholders.
Required Skills
- 4 to 7 years of hands-on software quality assurance experience with a strong focus on System Integration Testing (SIT) and complex enterprise applications.
- Proven experience managing end-to-end software release cycles, change records (CRs), and deployment coordination.
- Exceptional ability to collaborate with Dev Leads, technical teams, and business stakeholders to resolve cross-impacts and conflicts.
- Strong proficiency in maintaining and organizing project documentation, test schedules, and release milestones using tools like Confluence.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with experience facilitating weekly status meetings and managing stakeholder expectations.
Preferred Skills
- Experience driving efficiency gains and conducting post-implementation reviews or surveys.
- Familiarity with change management frameworks and enterprise release deployment processes.
