3. Requirement Analysis & Planning: Analyze testing requirements, assist in creating test plans, and develop detailed test cases/scripts based on user stories.
4. Test Execution & Defect Management: Set up test environments, execute functional, UI, and automated tests, report and track defects, and collaborate with developers for resolution.
5. Closure & Documentation: Compile test results, participate in retrospectives, and own end-user documentation to ensure ease of application usage.
6. You will actively participate in sprint ceremonies and are expected to communicate any blockers you face.
7. You will mainly work on WordPress-based websites and web applications, ensuring the quality of both the backend and frontend.

Must Haves

1. Strong Testing Fundamentals: Proficiency in functional, UI, and API testing concepts, with hands-on experience in web-based applications and test management tools.
2. Basic Automation Skills: Ability to automate simple test cases (e.g., form validation) using frameworks or tools, alongside familiarity with version control systems like Git/GitHub.
3. Technical Knowledge: Understanding of HTML/CSS, JavaScript basics, SQL for database queries, browser DevTools, and command-line usage for testing and debugging.
4. Analytical & Communication Skills: Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and excellent written, verbal, and listening communication in English.
5. Adaptability & Growth Mindset: Openness to feedback, commitment to continuous learning, and the ability to adapt to changing situations.
