• Testing Types: Experience with various types of testing, including functional, regression, performance, load, API (Experience with REST API testing using Postman, or similar tools) And user acceptance testing (UAT).
• Tools: Familiarity with bug tracking and project management tools (e.g., JIRA), version control systems (e.g., Git), and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins).
