Assess system behavior post-test execution, preparing comprehensive test reports and supporting root-cause investigations for declared problem reports.
Manage the lifecycle of equipment and system issues using dedicated configuration and tracking tools (e.g., DOORS, Octane, FTNet).
Specify and qualify ad-hoc test tools for decoding, recording, translation, emulation, and process automation.
