  1. Work closely with software architects and development leads to influence software architecture decisions that enhance testability, ensuring that testing needs are factored into design discussions.
  2. Create and enforce test strategies that address both software and hardware concerns, with a focus on integration, system, and performance testing.
  3. Ensure the QA strategy evolves with the product, adjusting processes and methods to accommodate new features and technologies.
