Job Responsibilities

• Understand system requirements in detail, create and maintain test strategy that covers requirements, follows the internal standards, standard operating procedures and meets external/regulatory needs for medical devices.
• Analyze and interpret the requirements correctly to come up with test designs that provide comprehensive coverage, and ensure requirement-to-test traceability
• Ensure comprehensive coverage and coordinate with other groups to reduce testing overlap.
• As appropriate, identify scenario-based tests that cover individual requirements as well as interactions between requirements / features / modules
• Lead the development of actual test designs that provide comprehensive coverage and ensure requirement-design-test traceability.
• Identify effective and efficient mode of test implementation and create high quality procedures to implement the test designs.
• Participate in the formal execution of test procedures and follow the established processes prior to, during and after the test execution.
• Participate and lead review activities to perform high quality reviews. (Example: test design, test procedures, test results, requirements etc.)
• Maintain high quality documentation of the verification and testing plans, procedures/test-cases, and results
