• Validate functional requirements against delivered solutions, identifying defects and working with development teams to drive resolution.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, performance, and user acceptance testing (UAT) across ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, CSM, and other ServiceNow modules.
• Integrate ATF test suites into CI/CD pipelines to enforce quality gates before code promotes to production.
• Review Update Set contents, Flow Designer flows, and script changes for testability, completeness, and adherence to standards.
• Manage defects through the full lifecycle using Jira, Azure DevOps, or the ServiceNow platform itself; provide clear, reproducible defect documentation.
• Collaborate with the ServiceNow Database Developer and platform administrators to validate data migrations, transforms, and import sets.
• Contribute to platform upgrade and patch validation efforts; execute upgrade readiness testing plans.
• Produce QA metrics, dashboards, and release readiness reports for stakeholders.
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, contributing quality perspective to sprint planning and retrospectives.

Competencies

• Meticulous attention to detail with a quality-first mindset.
• Strong analytical thinking with the ability to identify edge cases and failure scenarios.
