• and revalidate post deployment.
• Ensure test plans have an automation roadmap based on expected consistency of a feature set.
• Build processes and infrastructure to streamline QA activities, increase test coverage, and overall increase the quality of our products.
• Among others, this may include continuous integration, automated test suites.
