1. Data Testing & Validation

• Perform end-to-end data validation across upstream and downstream systems including APIs, databases, and microservices
• Validate data transformations, migrations, and reconciliation across systems (source-to-target validation)
• Execute SQL-based backend validations to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and consistency
• Support data migration and co-existence testing for legacy and modernized platforms

1. Test Design & Execution

• Participate in user story reviews and test design activities to define functional and data test scenarios
• Create and maintain test cases covering happy path, negative scenarios, and edge conditions
• Execute: o Functional testing o Integration testing (microservices & APIs) o End-to-end business process validation
• Perform defect lifecycle management (log, triage, validation, closure)

1. Test Automation

• Develop and maintain automation frameworks for UI, API, and data validation testing
• Build automation using Java/Python-based frameworks aligned with QE ecosystems
• Enable automation within sprint cycles and maintain regression suites
• Support CI/CD-based automated test execution pipelines

1. API & Microservices Testing

• Validate API integrations, contracts, and message flows across distributed systems
• Perform Kafka/event-based message validation and API testing
• Ensure integrity of data exchange between services and downstream systems

1. QE Practices & Shift-Left

• Contribute to Shift-Left testing approach, embedding testing early in SDLC
• Work with Dev teams to ensure test coverage is embedded in development pipelines
• Leverage AI/automation tooling to improve: o Test design o Test case generation o Automation coverage
