Test Documentation: Assist in creating and maintaining test documentation, including test plans, test cases, and test scripts, to ensure effective and comprehensive testing coverage.
Regression Testing: Conduct regression testing to verify that issues have been resolved and new features or updates do not introduce any new problems.
Test Automation Support: Support the development and maintenance of test automation scripts, tools, and frameworks under the guidance of senior QA team members.
Collaborative Work: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including developers, product managers, and designers, to understand requirements, report issues, and ensure high-quality software delivery.

Familiarity with various testing techniques, including functional, regression, integration, and user acceptance testing.
Basic knowledge of testing tools and frameworks, such as test management software, defect tracking systems, and test automation tools.

Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with an ability to identify, isolate, and document defects effectively.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate issues clearly and collaborate effectively with team members.
Detail-oriented approach with a high level of accuracy and an ability to work independently as well as in a team.
