- Assisting in planning, preparing, and executing test cases for new software releases, features, or configuration changes in our RAN test environment, under senior guidance.
- Collecting, organising, and summarising logs, traces, and basic KPIs from test runs to facilitate analysis and issue investigation.
- Utilising existing automation frameworks and scripts to run tests, continuously improving efficiencies (e.g., refining log parsing or creating reports).
- Supporting day-to-day test environment and tool operations, such as applying software updates or performing configuration adjustments, after Proper training.
- Recording test cases, outcomes, and defects in standard Ericsson tools (e.g., Azure DevOps/Jira), along with clear documentation for traceability and collaboration.
- Participating actively in team routines including stand-ups, planning sessions, and retrospectives, while collaborating closely with colleagues in other functions and geographic locations.
