• Execute functional, regression, usability, and exploratory testing
• Report bugs with precise reproduction steps, screenshots, screen recordings, and logs
• Verify fixes and sign off on releases before they ship to clients or production
• Test across devices, browsers, OS versions, and screen sizes to catch inconsistencies before users do
