Provide detailed, actionable reports with recommendations for optimizing performance, including insights on load distribution, throughput, response times, and resource utilization.

Work with the development team to debug and resolve performance issues and defects.

Collaboration and Continuous Improvement:

Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to understand performance requirements and ensure that testing is aligned with business objectives.

Keep up to date with the latest trends and best practices in performance testing, automation, and related technologies.

Drive a culture of continuous improvement by promoting performance testing early in the development lifecycle.

Required Qualifications:
