• Identify, document, and track defects through to resolution, working closely with technical teams and the implementation partner.
• Perform data validation and reconciliation to ensure migration accuracy and data integrity.
• Support business users during User Acceptance Testing (UAT) by preparing test data, executing scenarios, and resolving testing issues.
• Validate defect fixes through re-testing and perform regression testing to ensure no impact on existing functionality.
• Prepare test execution reports, defect summaries, and testing status updates for project stakeholders.
• Ensure all testing activities comply with Mashreq's testing standards, quality processes, and project governance.
