QA Analyst should be typically focussed on these tasks:
manual functional testing based on project user stories
prioritize your tests so you can help the project the most
be aware of your project allocation - if your allocation is not big enough, discuss it with your PM
keep in mind that it is not possible to test everything so start with the most important tests
reporting your work
use X-Ray for test management
use “light version” of test management - you don’t have to document every test step, simple description of what you will test is enough
when you find an issue, don’t forget to change the status of the user story to “rejected“ and assign user story back to CE
reporting your time
reporting should be done every day
time should be reported to the correct user story or to administration task
If your allocation is big enough, you can add other tasks to your list:
test automation for internal purpose
more manual testing - more calculations, more variants
API testing or other testing based on project demands
