• Be responsible to design and implement automated tests based on the agreed-upon acceptance criteria. The QE may work with other automated test engineers for this
• Be responsible to set up the execution of automated tests as needed, via Continuous Integration (CI) tools
• Be responsible to review the results of automated tests and take appropriate action (e.g. file defects, update test code/data/configuration, etc.)
• Be responsible to ensure that any areas not covered by automated tests are validated via alternate mechanisms
• Be responsible for generating and communicating test reports and metrics out to stakeholders
• Mentor other junior members of the team
