Assist in validating backward compatibility for existing APIs and functionality.
Work closely with developers to understand new features and improve overall testability.
Maintain clear and structured test documentation, and contribute to consistent reporting.
Gradually take ownership of smaller automation areas and focused test responsibilities.
Collaborate with experienced engineers to analyze test behavior, refine test scenarios, and continue developing your skills in automation.
