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.

Ensure validation documentation meets U.S. regulatory or industry-specific standards (e.g., FDA 21 CFR Part 11, SOX, or GxP requirements where applicable). Maintain and review validation deliverables, including Test Strategy, Test Protocols, Test Reports, and Traceability Matrix. Ensure all testing meets quality assurance (QA) and compliance standards defined by internal and external auditors. Support hypercare activities — defect triage, issue resolution, and stabilization reporting. Lead a team of onsite/offshore testers and validation analysts. 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.
