Key Responsibilities
· Execute functional, integration, and regression tests based on test cases, user stories, and specifications for APL applications and related services.
· Design and update test cases and test data under guidance from senior QA analysts and leads, ensuring clear steps, expected results, and traceability to requirements.
· Log, track, and retest defects in JIRA (or equivalent), providing clear reproduction steps, impact details, and test evidence (screenshots, logs, data extracts).
· Validate data and calculations using SQL or other tools to confirm portfolio positions, trades, fees, and reports are accurate across systems.
· Participate in System Integration Testing (SIT) cycles, executing end-to-end scenarios that span APL, upstream channels, downstream systems, and operations workflows.
· Support release and deployment cycles by running smoke tests, sanity checks, and targeted regression in lower and production-like environments.
· Collaborate closely with developers, product, and operations to clarify requirements, understand changes, and reproduce client or production issues.
· Maintain QA documentation including test plans, test runs, test evidence, and sign-off notes as required by internal quality and audit standards.
· Contribute to continuous improvement by suggesting test coverage enhancements, reusable test data sets, and small process improvements within the QA team.
· Learn and deepen domain knowledge in managed accounts, portfolio management, trading, and APL-specific workflows, applying that knowledge in day-to-day testing.
