Perform manual testing where it provides value, and identify which scenarios should be automated for long-term reliability. Drive testing processes and a quality-first mindset across the team. Work in a data-driven way to improve quality by using monitoring and alerting tools to detect issues early and reduce defects. Design, write, maintain, and improve automated end-to-end test suites.
