In this role, you will help ensure the quality of our software by manually testing it against written procedures. Following clear, step-by-step test scripts, you'll check that each part of our applications behaves as expected, record your results, and report anything that doesn't work correctly in a clear and concise manner for a technical person to follow.

- Follow written test procedures (test scripts) step by step to ensure that software works as intended.
- Compare the actual result of each step against the expected result and record the outcome as pass or fail.
- Clearly and accurately report any problems (bugs) you find, describing what you did and what went wrong so others can understand and reproduce them.
- Re-test fixes once developers have addressed a reported issue.
