• Engineering Collaboration: Partner with developers to ensure sufficient unit and integration test coverage and provide feedback in code reviews regarding testability and quality risks.
• Validation & Verification: Validate authentication, navigation, and complex permission sets to ensure configuration changes meet rigorous healthcare standards.
