- Identify, document, and retest defects and variances discovered during BAT, SIT, and regression cycles; partner with Information Services, project teams, and vendors to support root cause analysis and timely resolution.
- Review test cases and expected outcomes to ensure finance requirements, accounting controls, downstream reporting needs, and existing functionality are fully covered during migration testing.
- Support dress rehearsals, cutover validation, and go-live readiness activities by confirming continuity of accounting processes and accuracy of financial outputs in the Guidewire Cloud environment.
- Maintain clear testing documentation, including scenarios, defects, retest results, regression outcomes, and issue summaries to support project governance and auditability.
- Prepare and update BAT/SIT/regression trackers, defect logs, reconciliation schedules, and testing status summaries to support project governance and decision-making.
- Assist with validation of finance reports, dashboards, interfaces, and data extracts to ensure complete and accurate outputs in the cloud environment.
- Support ad hoc analysis related to migration testing results, cutover planning, blackout-period impacts, and post-deployment stabilization.
- Contribute to improvements in test coverage, defect management, regression coverage, documentation quality, and control over finance-related system changes.
