Individuals within the Test Engineer role are responsible for verifying and validating whether solutions meet specified requirements. They are involved in all phases of the solutions development lifecycle. They implement quality assurance objectives and processes, monitor and evaluate testing results against the predetermined objectives, and apply recommended actions for improvements. Quality control activities may include performance and solution testing. Individuals also evaluate and recommend test automation tools and determine the suitability of these tools with various development tools. Senior level professionals within this role are responsible for providing technical team leadership.
