A Software Test Engineer (STE) ensures that software applications meet quality standards by performing various types of testing, identifying defects, and verifying that requirements are met. This role may involve both manual testing and test automation depending on the team's structure and project needs.

Key Responsibilities

Requirement Analysis:
Collaborate with stakeholders to understand the requirements and define acceptance criteria.
Identify testable and non-testable elements.
Test Planning:

Create comprehensive test plans that outline the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of testing activities.
Define testing objectives, deliverables, and success metrics.
Test Design and Execution:

Develop detailed test cases, test scripts, and scenarios.
Perform manual or automated testing, covering functional, integration, regression, system, and user acceptance testing.
Defect Management:

Log defects with clear steps to reproduce and supporting evidence (logs, screenshots, etc.).
Track defect lifecycle and ensure timely resolution.
Test Automation:

Design, develop, and maintain test scripts using automation tools if applicable.
Integrate automated tests into Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.

• A QA Manual Test Engineer focuses on testing software applications manually without relying on automation tools. The primary goal is to ensure that software meets all functional requirements, performs well, and is free of defects. Below is a detailed overview of the role, including key responsibilities, required skills, and tools commonly used:
  
  Key Responsibilities
  Requirement Analysis:
  Collaborate with developers, business analysts, and other stakeholders to understand the product’s requirements.
  Break down complex features into smaller, testable elements.
  Clarify requirements and create test scenarios based on these.
  Test Planning:
  
  Create test plans that outline testing scope, approach, resources, and schedule.
  Identify the testing types required, such as functional, regression, usability, and performance testing.
  Test Case Design and Documentation:
  
  Develop detailed, clear, and repeatable test cases based on the requirements and test plans.
  Design test data to ensure maximum test coverage.
  Maintain test documentation, including test cases, test scenarios, and bug reports.
  Test Execution:
  
  Execute manual tests as per the test plan.
  Perform functional, system, regression, integration, and acceptance testing.
  Conduct exploratory testing to identify hidden issues not covered in predefined test cases.
  Defect Identification and Reporting:
  
  Identify, log, and track defects using bug tracking tools like JIRA or Bugzilla.
  Provide clear, concise steps to reproduce the defects and their impact on the application.
  Perform retesting after defects are fixed to verify their resolution.
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with developers to discuss and troubleshoot issues during the testing process.
  Participate in team meetings like sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
  Usability and User Experience Testing:
  
  Assess the software's usability from an end-user perspective.
  Ensure that the user interface (UI) is intuitive and adheres to design specifications.
  Reporting and Documentation:
  
  Prepare test reports, including the test execution status, defect logs, and any risks/issues found.
  Communicate test results and findings effectively with stakeholders.
