You’ll report and track bugs using issue management systems, communicate with developers to clarify issues, and may also participate in automated test script creation and maintenance. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is common, as you'll need to coordinate with developers, product managers, and sometimes end-users. Over time, your responsibilities may expand to include mentoring junior testers or taking on more complex testing projects as you gain experience.
