• Use Subject7's codeless automation capabilities to increase automated test coverage across UI modernization applications.
• Create reusable automated test cases covering functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end business scenarios.
• Evaluate existing manual test cases and identify opportunities for conversion to automated testing.
• Maintain automation scripts as applications, interfaces, business requirements, and workflows evolve.
• Analyze automated test results, investigate failures, and coordinate defect resolution with development teams.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD and Dev Ops workflows where applicable.

• Leverage AI-assisted testing and automation capabilities to improve test design, execution, analysis, and defect identification.
• Use AI-enabled approaches to assist with test case generation, test coverage analysis, regression testing, and identification of potential quality risks.
• Evaluate opportunities to use AI to reduce repetitive manual QA activities and accelerate testing cycles.
• Apply appropriate human validation and QA controls when using AI-generated or AI-assisted test artifacts.
• Identify emerging AI testing tools and techniques that could improve testing accuracy, efficiency, and coverage.

• Conduct comprehensive manual and automated testing of UI modernization applications.
• Execute functional, regression, integration, system, security, performance (required), and end-to-end testing.
• Validate application workflows, user interfaces, system integrations, and data processing.
• Perform UI/UX testing to ensure web applications function consistently and meet business requirements.
• Validate secure data transfers and interfaces across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
• Perform regression testing following releases, enhancements, patches, and configuration changes.

• Develop comprehensive test plans, test scenarios, test cases, test scripts, and acceptance criteria.
• Create detailed defect reports documenting expected results, actual results, severity, reproduction steps, and supporting evidence.
