• Plan and execute testing for SMART on FHIR launch workflows, FHIR API integrations, FHIR Subscriptions, HL7v2 interfaces, Mirth integration engine flows, and HIS integration with MEDITECH, Epic, Cerner, or related systems.
• Validate FHIR event-driven workflows, subscription notifications, topic/filter behaviour, endpoint delivery, payload content, retry/error handling, authorization, and downstream processing.
• Validate integration with NetIQ workflows, authentication, authorization, identity-enabled workflows, and role/context-specific access patterns.
• Coordinate functional, system integration, end-to-end, regression, smoke, automated regression, accessibility, security/privacy coordination, performance, UAT, implementation readiness, and release-readiness testing.
• Create and maintain requirements traceability to ensure clinical, business, technical, integration, automation, privacy, security, accessibility, and operational requirements are tested.
• Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution.
• Lead defect triage meetings and provide clear reporting on defect trends, blockers, testing progress, automation coverage, failed automated tests, release risks, and go/no-go recommendations.
• Work with development teams to support API testing, integration testing, interface testing, test automation, regression suite development, test data setup, and production validation.
• Prepare test summary reports, automation execution reports, release readiness assessments, implementation validation plans, and knowledge transfer materials.
