Responsibilities
Collaborates with peers to identify and recommend practices for quality assurance at the source using automation
Conducts impact analysis, evaluates and identifies affects to regression test suites, testability of code, and application performance to reduce negative influences on continuous testing
Performs quality checks along with updating of automation scripts
Identifies and designs testing suites for test driven development (TDD) and behavior driven development (BDD) to allow early and frequent testing as the software is developed
Identifies process improvement and continuous quality measures across the development lifecycle
Identifies and suggests improvements for code quality to improve deficiencies from functionality through structure of code for performance and maintainability
