15. Perform exploratory and manual API testing using Postman or equivalent tools 

16. Test REST services and SOAP services where applicable. 

17. Validate applications against JSON/XML API contracts, including schema validation, error 

handling, authentication, and negative scenarios. 

18. Combine UI and API layers in end-to-end scenarios using API calls for test setup, data 

seeding, and state verification. 

19. Own quality assurance for assigned applications and features across frontend and backend 

layers 

General 

20. Identify, log, prioritise, and track defects to closure reproduce issues and partner with
