Test specialists at entry-level make test scenarios for testing the software. They choose an appropriate test form, such as a unit test, integration test, acceptance test, as well as an appropriate test methodology. They determine what is needed for testing, such as the test environment, resources, and test data. They also perform the test(s), interpret the findings, and draw conclusions. During the process, they proactively communicate with the parties involved. They have an inquiring attitude, oversee the coherence, and work in a structured manner within clear boundaries.
