The role of Quality Testing Associate Analyst is designed for fresh graduates and early‑career professionals who are eager to start a career in software quality assurance. As a Quality Testing Associate Analyst, you will be part of the QA team that ensures the reliability, performance, and compliance of 3M’s enterprise applications, including SAP modules used across the organization. You will work closely with developers, business analysts, and product owners to understand requirements, design test scenarios, execute manual test cases, and document defects with clarity and precision. Key responsibilities include: 1. Review functional specifications and create detailed test plans aligned with SDLC and STLC processes. 2. Design, develop, and execute manual test cases covering positive, negative, and edge‑case scenarios. 3. Log defects in the tracking tool, track their lifecycle, and verify fixes. 4. Perform regression testing for each release to ensure no new issues are introduced. 5. Collaborate with SAP functional consultants to understand module‑specific workflows. 6. Maintain test data and test environment setup, ensuring consistency across test cycles. 7. Generate test summary reports and communicate findings to stakeholders. 8.
