• Execute all levels of testing (System, Integration, and Regression) 

• Keep user experience front of mind during testing and suggest usability improvements where necessary. 

• Continually look for opportunities to maximise testability and automatic testing coverage, suggesting and implementing improvements to working methods 

• Detect and track software defects and inconsistencies, maintaining Priority 1 defect release record to ensure high availability of software.
