• Supports manual testing when all automation avenues have been exhausted.

• Designing and implementing test solutions and the automation to support these, often from scratch, by applying best practice approaches
• Applying structured testing and automation approaches, utilising technologies aligned with TDD/BDD
• Bringing a breadth of experience of testing within the CI/CD lifecycle, its supporting technologies and experience of automation testing frameworks
