• Defined and executed test strategies across Part, Document, Change Management (CR/CN), Issue Management (IR), Promotion Request, AML/AVL, and Audit Management modules.
• Independently owned and delivered an enhancement release end-to-end — from test strategy design through production validation.
• Reviewed solution design documents from a QA perspective to identify gaps, risks, and coverage requirements early in the delivery cycle.
• Validated Part, Document, and Change object types — attribute values, lifecycle state transitions, object relationships, and role-based access controls.
• Tested Promotion Request lifecycle (In Work → Under Review → Released) and verified that only approved objects were promoted per business rules.
• Conducted Audit Management testing — verified audit trail entries for Part creation, attribute edits, lifecycle changes, and document check-in events.
• Managed and validated Supplier and Manufacturer master data — linked records to Parts via AML/AVL and verified attribute propagation post-association.
• Performed ThingWorx testing — configuration validation, mashup and widget functionality, and UI component testing.
• Validated IoT data workflows and system integration between ThingWorx and Windchill, ensuring data consistency across platforms.
• Conducted UAT with business stakeholders — defined acceptance criteria, resolved requirement ambiguities, and validated end-to-end workflows.
• Logged and tracked defects in JIRA through the full lifecycle — coordinated with development for resolution and ensured closure before release.
• Conducted smoke/sanity production validation before go-live and maintained sprint-level test execution and reporting.
• Collaborated with offshore and onshore QA teams to align coverage plans and ensure timely delivery across sprints.
• Participated in Scrum ceremonies, sprint planning, and Scrum of Scrums, contributing to on-time release milestones.
