2. Test Planning & Governance

5. Defect & Quality Management

  • Own defect triage, prioritization, and resolution governance.
  • Ensure defects are tracked, categorized, and resolved within thresholds:
    • No critical/high defects at phase exit
    • Defined pass-rate thresholds (e.g., 9095% for SIT, 100% for UAT)
  • Drive root cause analysis and regression validation.
  • Provide daily defect and testing status reporting to leadership.

6. Business Engagement & UAT Leadership

  • Partner with business stakeholders to:
    • Define UAT scope and scenarios
