Test Execution & Defect Management
Objective
Execute manual and automated tests as per sprint timelines
Ensure functional stability, regression coverage, and early defect detection
Maintain continuous feedback through CI/CD and defect analysis
Key Activities
Execute Test Suites
Smoke Testing → Validate build stability
Functional Testing → Validate sprint stories and acceptance criteria
Regression Testing → Ensure no impact on existing features
Integration Testing → Ensure Functionality works with other component Integration
System Testing → Ensure the entire system functions correctly without workflow disruptions.
Defect Tracking
Log defects in Jira (or equivalent tool)
Categorize by severity and priority
Link defects to test cases and requirements
Monitor defect trends across sprints
Defect Lifecycle Management
New
Assigned
In Progress
Fixed
Re-tested
Closed
Deferred / Rejected (if applicable)
Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Identify recurring or high-severity defects
Classify causes → Requirement Gap, Test Coverage Gap, Environment Issue, Code Defect
Document RCA findings
Feed insights into continuous improvement
Automation Test Run Tracking
Monitor execution results from CI/CD dashboards
Capture pass/fail trends and test stability
Identify flaky or unstable tests
Report automation coverage and efficiency
Outputs
