- Lead automation planning for regression cycles, releases, and deployment waves; coordinate with SAP functional, QE, and business teams.
- Review automation assets, troubleshoot failures, improve stability, and establish standards for maintainability, reuse, and execution efficiency.
- Evaluate Playwright-based automation and help define where Tosca and Playwright are best suited, including integration into the broader QE approach.
- Apply AI-assisted testing capabilities with Playwright, including AI-supported test design and generation, script creation, failure analysis, locator recovery or self-healing where appropriate, and agentic workflows.
- Evaluate opportunities to connect AI-driven workflows with MCP, LLM-based tools, or other approved AI capabilities while maintaining human review, security, and traceability.
