Qualifications: Bachelor s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Prepare test strategy, test scenarios, test cases, test data, and test execution reports for the Application.
• Validate end-to-end operator workflows across dashboard, exception workspace, context inspection, learning console, and local client state behavior.
• Test operator actions such as acknowledge, resolve, escalate, annotate, re-evaluate, and case state transitions.
• Validate transactional request/response APIs and live event-stream behavior for real-time updates.
• Test exception arrival, agent progress updates, queue health metrics, and re-evaluation events.
• Validate EDI/X12 parsing, exception normalization, and mapping to the internal exception model.
• Test deterministic exception handling through L1 reference-data lookups and L2 policy-based routing.
• Validate L3 agentic resolution workflows, including bounded tool execution and fallback behavior.
• Test resolution tools such as drug lookup, pricing check, serial verification, DEA check, and document lookup.
• Verify Graph RAG and Document RAG results for relevance, accuracy, grounding, source traceability, and response consistency.
• Validate context retrieval from context graph, reference data, decision trace store, policies, documentation, and regulatory guidance.
• Test decision trace generation for both deterministic and agentic decisions.
• Validate auditability, explainability, trace completeness, and decision lineage.
• Test feedback capture from operator resolutions and learning-loop workflows.
• Validate pattern mining outputs, candidate rule generation, routing optimization results, validation sandbox results, and promotion gate approvals.
• Perform regression testing after model, prompt, rule, routing, ingestion, retrieval, or external-source changes.
• Validate Unity Catalog permissions, data governance, access controls, and restricted data visibility.
• Conduct negative testing, boundary testing, failure scenario testing, retry testing, idempotency testing, and security validation support.
• Validate observability metrics such as queue health, exception volume, agent latency, retrieval quality, provider errors, token usage, ingestion lag, and decision trace completeness.
• Log defects with clear reproduction steps, expected results, actual results, screenshots/logs, test data references, and severity.
• Collaborate with developers, DevOps/MLOps, architects, business users, and operators for defect triage and release readiness.
