You will formulate the right tools and frameworks developers will adopt, build and execute the integration points for testing in the deployment pipelines, and possess the ability to design and execute a testing plan that is scalable, maintainable, and widely adopted by the development team. A strong understanding of ways to move testing practices earlier into the development lifecycle is highly valued!
