YOUR MISSION

Identifies and communicates any specific points of attention that functional analysts should focus on during their own testing activities.

• May be required to perform tasks during the deployment of developed solutions to test, acceptance, or production environments. This may require work outside normal business hours.

• Analyzes reported defects (identified during test campaigns or in production incidents) and resolves them after consultation with the relevant functional analyst.
