A Software Quality Analyst (SQA) is responsible for analyzing and improving the testing process for Medium Projects, focusing on complexity. They are expected to test, plan, and prepare test strategies independently, complete test completion, review, and improvement, conduct test execution, prepare software test environments, and troubleshoot issues on simple projects.
Responsibilities include test preparation and planning, which involves estimating effort required, planning full test coverage, ensuring optimization and risk-based approaches, and coordinating with the team to distribute work and plan testing. Test completion, review, and improvement involve analyzing and implementing overall test improvement for successful project completion. Test execution involves proactively identifying, analyzing, and resolving execution issues, ensuring quality expectations are met.
Prepared software and test environments are essential for simple projects and medium to large projects. SQAs must be able to escalate software and environmental issues and follow through with resolution. Defects are detected and tracked, incorporating best practices to analyze and generate defect reports, contributing to latent and non-defect prevention.
