• Vulnerability & Compliance Scanning: Oversee the integration of security vulnerability scanning and Section 508 accessibility compliance checks directly into the automated deployment workflow.
• Defect Lifecycle Tracking: Identify, analyze, and systematically document software defects within a centralized agile management tool, tracking 100% of issues to formal remediation and resolution.
• Requirements Traceability: Participate in collaborative product design reviews to provide testing feedback on functional requirements, project schedules, or architectural risks, ensuring absolute commit traceability to user stories.
• Database & Integration Testing: Develop highly specific test programs addressing database impacts, multi-layer software integration scenarios, negative testing, and error-retest validations.
