Responsibilities:
l Lead, manage, and develop a test team (automation & manual), including hiring, performance coaching, career pathing, and fostering a quality-first team culture.
l Define and execute the overall QA strategy, with a focus on automation roadmap development—prioritizing test cases for automation (e.g., regression, API, UI) to reduce manual effort and accelerate release cycles.
l Oversee the design, development, and maintenance of automation frameworks and scripts using tools/tech stacks such as Selenium, Appium, Postman, RestAssured, Cypress, or Playwright.
l Collaborate with development, product, and DevOps teams to integrate automation testing into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI), enabling continuous testing and faster feedback loops.
l Establish QA metrics (e.g., automation coverage rate, defect escape rate, test execution efficiency) to track team performance, identify bottlenecks, and report quality status to stakeholders.
l Ensure compliance with quality standards and regulatory requirements by embedding relevant checks into testing processes.
l Stay updated on emerging automation testing tools, methodologies, and industry best practices to continuously optimize the QA function.
