Test Strategy Development

• Collaborate with stakeholders to define test objectives, scope, and approach.
• Develop a comprehensive test strategy that aligns with project goals and requirements.
• Define test entry and exit criteria, including criteria for test completion and sign-off.

Test Planning and Coordination

• Create detailed test plans outlining test objectives, scope, resources, and schedule.
• Coordinate with project managers, development teams, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment of testing activities with project timelines and milestones.
• Identify testing dependencies and risks, and develop contingency plans as needed.

Resource Management

• Identify and allocate resources (testers, tools, environments) required for testing activities.
• Ensure adequate training and skill development for testing team members.
• Manage staffing levels and workload distribution to optimise testing efficiency and effectiveness.

Test Execution Oversight

• Supervise and monitor test execution activities to ensure adherence to test plans and procedures.
• Review and analyse test results to identify defects, anomalies, and areas for improvement.
• Coordinate with development teams to prioritize and address identified issues in a timely manner.

Quality Assurance and Metrics

• Establish quality assurance processes and metrics to measure testing effectiveness and efficiency.
• Define key performance indicators (KPIs) for testing activities and monitor performance against established benchmarks.
• Implement continuous improvement initiatives based on analysis of testing metrics and performance data.

Test Automation Strategy

• Develop a test automation strategy to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
• Identify opportunities for test automation and evaluate suitable tools and frameworks.
• Oversee the implementation of test automation solutions and ensure integration with existing testing processes.

Test Environment Management

• Manage test environments and infrastructure to ensure availability, stability, and readiness for testing activities.
• Coordinate with infrastructure teams to provision and maintain test environments as needed.
• Implement configuration management practices to ensure consistency and reliability of test environments.

Documentation and Reporting

• Maintain comprehensive documentation of testing processes, procedures, and results.
• Generate test reports and dashboards to communicate testing progress, findings, and metrics to stakeholders.
• Prepare and present findings, recommendations, and improvement plans to project teams and management.

Stakeholder Communication

• Facilitate communication and collaboration between testing teams, development teams, and project stakeholders.
• Provide regular updates on testing progress, issues, and risks to project managers and stakeholders.
• Address stakeholder concerns and feedback related to testing activities and deliverables.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities for process improvements and best practices adoption within the testing organisation.
• Conduct post-project reviews and retrospectives to capture lessons learned and identify areas for improvement.
• Drive initiatives to enhance testing methodologies, tools, and techniques based on industry standards and emerging trends.
