• Monitor application and infrastructure behavior during tests using LoadRunner Analysis, APM tools (Dynatrace/AppDynamics/New Relic), server metrics, and DB monitoring.
• Analyze performance results to identify bottlenecks, including response‑time degradation, memory/CPU constraints, connection/thread issues, and slow SQL queries.
• Collaborate with multiple workstreams—including onshore and offshore teams—to coordinate test preparation, execution, defect resolution, and tuning activities.
• Define and deliver comprehensive performance test strategy, plans, scenarios, risk assessments, and documentation, ensuring transparency and technical clarity for stakeholders.
• Present performance findings, dashboards, bottleneck reports, and optimization recommendations while ensuring alignment with compliance, quality, and program governance requirements.
