Summary
Focuses on validating software quality through test analysis, test case design, and test automation across web, API, and non-functional layers. Distinct from broader Software Engineering (which builds the product) and SRE/Platform reliability (which operates production infrastructure); this function owns risk-based test strategy, defect detection, automation frameworks, and quality outcomes against requirements throughout the SDLC.
