- Guide the developers on Unit and Integration Testing
* Manual testing:

- Apply analytical and logical thinking to discover edge cases
- Organize test specifications according to impact, component, likelihood, etc
* Communication:
- Critique the initial requirements and discover edge cases
- Help the Product Manager with writing Acceptance Criteria that can be part of the Living Documentation
- Evangelize and help adopt BDD and TDD within the engineering team
* DevOps:
- Continuous Integration
