• Develops and maintains test cases and test data for all relevant modules of the product, ensuring traceability to business and functional requirements.
• Executes manual and automated test cases across functional, regression, system, and integration testing and publishes clear, actionable test results.
• Writes and maintains robust, reusable test automation scripts using Playwright with a BDD framework (e. g., Cucumber) and integrates them into CI/CD pipelines.
• Reviews automated and manual tests, identifies gaps, and suggests options to improve coverage, reliability, and maintainability of the test suite.
• Identifies, logs, and tracks software defects following the defined defect lifecycle, and collaborates with developers for root-cause analysis and quick resolution.
• Provides inputs to system, regression, and performance test planning, including environment, data, and tool requirements.
• Assists in the collection and interpretation of test metrics (coverage, defect trends, execution health) and recommends corrective actions to improve product and process quality.
• Understands and clarifies business requirements and acceptance criteria, ensuring that tests reflect real customer workflows in PSR / retail execution contexts.
• Follows standard development and testing processes, adheres to coding and documentation standards, and contributes to continuous improvement of QA practices.

• Strong experience in UI test automation using Playwright or similar modern frameworks, preferably with JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Practical experience with BDD frameworks (e. g., Cucumber, SpecFlow) and behaviour-driven test design.
• Good understanding of test design techniques, regression strategy, risk-based testing, and end-to-end scenario validation.
• Experience with API testing using tools like Postman or REST-assured and basic knowledge of performance testing concepts.
• Familiarity with Git-based version control and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.
• Working knowledge of defect and test management tools (e. g., JIRA, ALM or similar).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and a mindset for continuous improvement.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to collaborate across globally distributed teams.

Preferred qualifications and domain:

• Experience testing retail, planogram, store execution, or shelf/PSR solutions or other supply chain / retail products.
• Exposure to cloud-native environments (Azure or other major cloud platforms) and authentication standards such as OAuth/SSO.
• Experience integrating automation suites into containerised or cloud-based execution grids.
• Prior experience in a product-based organisation delivering large-scale enterprise solutions, ideally in supply chain or retail technology.
