A Snapshot of Your Day 

 

Your day begins by reviewing new feature requirements and updating automated test scripts to reflect the latest changes. You sync with software developers to clarify technical details and ensure test coverage for critical modules. Before lunch, you execute automated test suites, analyze results, and report defects using Solution Manager or equivalent tools. In the afternoon, you participate in sprint planning, refine test data management strategies, and contribute to functional and quality reviews. You close the day by optimizing test automation frameworks and sharing insights with the team to drive continuous improvement.
