• Automate & test REST APIs using tools like Postman, validating responses and data accuracy based on API schemas.
• Use MCP servers to accelerate automation test scenarios with the help of LLMs and AI.
• Report bugs clearly with steps to reproduce, screenshots, and relevant details to help developers fix issues quickly.
• Validate user interfaces for responsiveness across mobile & tablet screen sizes.
• Participate in daily standups and provide testing status updates to the team
• Review and provide feedback on requirements and user stories from a testing perspective
• Maintain test documentation including test cases and test results.
