Integrate testing scripts into CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous quality. Perform thorough sanity testing of various System Windows and Linux hardware and software components, ensuring high-quality releases. Develop comprehensive regression reports and scale stress/smoke testing on device farms. Data Analytics & Telemetry: Implement metrics collection and analytics systems to monitor software, build quality, and performance. Analyze telemetry and log data from distributed systems to identify patterns, anomalies, and derive actionable insights that guide development priorities and improve product quality.
