QA / Test Engineer
Your morning begins reviewing a new feature's test plan for a healthcare app's prescription upload module — writing Selenium test scripts to cover 40 UI test cases, identifying a critical bug where file uploads fail silently for PDFs over 5MB on Android devices. Afternoons are spent executing API testing in Postman against the backend's new endpoint, updating test results in TestRail, attending a bug triage meeting with developers, and preparing a regression test suite for the upcoming sprint release.
