• Preparing functional designs, configuration documentation, test cases, process flows, and other project deliverables.
• Executing unit and integration testing and supporting user acceptance testing, regression testing, close-cycle validation, and defect resolution.
• Working with Billing, Customer Service, Retail Choice, banking partners, collection agencies, and FI/CO teams to resolve end-to-end process and interface defects.
