• 60 days: Take ownership of test planning and validation for assigned feature areas. Develop detailed manual and automated test cases covering functional, regression, and integration scenarios, integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines. 

• 90 days: Independently drive testing activities across complex microservices features. Partner proactively with development teams to reproduce and triage defects, analyze test metrics, and ensure comprehensive test coverage across supported operating systems and database environments. 

• 6 months: Champion automated testing best practices, reduce test execution cycle times, and optimize test harness reliability. Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Management and Engineering leadership to align testing strategy with product delivery goals.
