 * Performing functional, regression, integration, usability, and performance testing as necessary.
 * Documenting defects and track them to resolution.
 * Working closely with team members to clarify requirements and resolve issues
 * Test Data Creation
 * Familiar with the creation and updating of various file formats (e.g. XML, JSON, CSV, Microsoft Excel)
 * Programming languages (e.g. Python, R, SQL) commonly used for data manipulation and generation.
 * Scripting languages (e.g., Bash, PowerShell) commonly used to automate routine tasks.
 * Working with databases and SQL for querying, inserting, and updating data as part of the generation process.
 * Assessing quality and validity of generated data.
 * Addressing challenges in data generation, such as generating data in formats suitable for specific applications.
 * Documenting data generation processes, including parameters used, assumptions made, and transformations applied.
 * Working with test automation tools (e.g. Selenium WebDriver, Appium, Cypress, JMeter) to validate web-based applications.
 * Using Zephyr for test management
 * Working with automation frameworks (e.g. JUnit, TestNG, NUnit, Protractor, PyTest) to test custom applications.
 * Understanding how to test headless applications using application programming interfaces (e.g. REST).
 * Debugging automated test scripts and understand application logs and error messages to pinpoint issues.
