The individual will plan, design, develop, document, and execute software test procedures and test cases, create automated test code and/or scripts to test software requirements and design, and log detected software defects with detailed information to help reproduce the incorrect behavior. Additionally, the role includes executing test cases and regression testing to confirm defect resolution, developing software test traceability matrix and safety traceability matrix against software requirements, performing tool validation (qualification) testing as needed, and providing continuous improvement ideas for a more effective and comprehensive test environment and test management.
