Responsibilities

Design and execute test plans, cases, and checklists covering financial payment scenarios to ensure fund security, functional compliance, and system stability.

Perform functional, integration, and regression testing on APPs, web applications, microservices, and core payment modules; lead end-to-end payment testing (including transaction initiation, authentication, routing, clearing, and reconciliation).

Collaborate with frontend/backend developers and product teams to define high‑risk test scenarios (e.g., fund loss, compliance issues, abnormal transactions).

Implement APP/Web/API test automation, focusing on payment interfaces and fund flow; build and integrate automated test suites using frameworks/tools.

Analyze defects in payment scenarios, create precise bug reports, and track issues such as fund loss and transaction anomalies until resolution.

Monitor payment system performance and stability; participate in reproducing, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis of production payment incidents.

Participate in code and payment process reviews; optimize QA processes and financial testing standards to improve coverage and efficiency.
