• Integrate tests with CI/CD tooling (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps) and enable pipeline gating, parallel execution, and reporting.
• Use test management and defect tracking tools to capture test cases, execution results, coverage, and defects; ensure alignment with regulatory and documentation standards.
• Triage and troubleshoot test failures, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions in tests and application code where appropriate.
