Preferred
• Experience with unit and integration testing frameworks and test automation.

• Technical design documents, UI mapping, and runbooks for operational support.
• Database schema updates, stored procedures, and performance tuning changes.
• SSIS/ETL coordination artifacts and integration test results.
• Unit/integration test artifacts and CI pipeline results in Azure DevOps.
• Deployment artifacts, pipeline definitions, and rollback/runbook documentation.
