• Provide early feedback during planning and design phases. 
• Develop detailed test plans, test strategies, and well-structured test cases. 
• Define test coverage and validate alignment with product requirements. 
• Execute comprehensive functional, system, regression, and exploratory tests. 
• Identify edge cases, workflow inconsistencies, and usability issues. 
• Validate software behavior across web-based and desktop environments. 
• Identify, document, and track bugs with clear, reproducible detail. 
• Work closely with developers to triage issues and verify fixes. 
• Perform thorough manual regression testing before releases. 
• Ensure that all critical functionality behaves as expected prior to deployment. 
• Work with cross-functional teams in an Agile environment.

• Extensive hands-on experience with manual and exploratory testing. 
• Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and software development processes. 
• Expertise in writing clear, detailed test plans and test cases. 
• Experience testing web-based (cloud) and desktop applications. 
• Familiarity with test management tools such as Jira, TestRail, or similar. 
• Experience working within an Agile development environment.
