Description
Test Strategy & Planning Develop the overall testing and validation strategy, covering unit testing, system integration testing (SIT), regression testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and cut-over testing. Define test entry/exit criteria, test environment requirements, and defect management processes. Prepare a Master Test Plan, aligning with project timelines, milestones, and risk profiles. Ensure traceability from business requirements to test cases and defect resolutions. Manage the defect lifecycle: triage, prioritization, resolution tracking, and reporting.

Collaborate closely with SAP Functional Leads, Technical Leads (ABAP, Basis, Security), Data Migration Team, and Business Process Owners. Partner with third-party vendors and system integrators to ensure end-to-end test coverage. Provide mentoring, training, and continuous improvement of testing practices. 8+ years of experience in SAP testing with at least 2 full-cycle SAP ECC implementations in a testing leadership capacity. 5+ years of proven experience in test strategy, test planning, execution management, and defect triage. 5+ years of deep functional understanding of key SAP ECC modules (e.g., FI/CO, MM, SD, PP, WM, HR, QM) and their integration points. 5+ years of strong experience in data migration testing, interface validation, and end-to-end business process validation. 3 years of familiarity with test management tools such as HP ALM/Quality Center, SAP Solution Manager, JIRA, Zephyr, or similar.
