Establish and maintain product performance standards, monitoring page load times, time to interactive, and critical workflow response times while identifying and escalating performance regressions. Evaluate product usability, accessibility, and workflow efficiency beyond standard functional testing. Review product requirements documents (PRDs) and acceptance criteria before development begins, identifying ambiguous, incomplete, or untestable requirements. Collaborate with Engineering QA on test coverage strategies, defect prioritization, issue resolution, and coordinated release validation. Maintain non-PHI test data and validation environments that accurately represent different device manufacturers and configurations.
