Key Responsibilities:

• Functional Testing: Design, develop, and execute detailed test plans and test cases (manual and automated) based on product requirements and user stories.
• Identify, document, and track software defects using a bug tracking system.
• Perform various types of functional testing, including regression, integration, system, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
• Collaborate closely with development and product teams to reproduce, debug, and resolve issues promptly.
• Performance Testing: Develop and execute performance and load testing scripts to evaluate system response times, throughput, and stability under varying load conditions.
• Analyze test results, identify bottlenecks (in databases, code, or infrastructure), and provide actionable recommendations for optimization.
• Use tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, or similar to simulate real-world traffic.
• Security Testing: Conduct vulnerability and penetration testing to identify security flaws such as SQL injection, XSS, or authentication issues.
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure adherence to security best practices and compliance policies.
• Utilize tools like OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, or equivalent for testing application resilience.
• Collaboration & Reporting: Work with cross-functional teams (development, product, and DevOps) to improve testing processes and automation coverage.
• Maintain accurate documentation of test plans, reports, and metrics to ensure transparency and traceability.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3–5 years of professional experience in Quality Assurance and Software Testing.
• Proven expertise in functional, performance, and security testing of software applications.
• Strong understanding of SDLC, STLC, and agile methodologies.
• Experience with SQL for database validation and data integrity checks.
