  • Define test environment requirements for each phase
  • Plan and lead Test Readiness Reviews (TRR) and Test Wash-Up Reviews (TWR)

Test Delivery Oversight

  • Oversee and support test script creation at both project level and sprint/feature level
  • Oversee test execution across all phases, including testing during development
