I’m looking for an experienced Senior Program/QA Manager to take full ownership of quality assurance for a fast-moving mobile application project that is rolling out on both Android and iOS. The assignment is to design the overall QA strategy, build and mentor a small distributed team, and drive every test activity—from early sprint planning through release sign-off—while keeping stakeholders in product, development, and operations fully aligned. You will draw on deep expertise in mobile application testing, functional and regression coverage, end-to-end scenarios, device compatibility checks, and network validation across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. Solid command of API testing, Jira-based defect management, and Agile/Scrum ceremonies is essential because we ship weekly and measure success in rapid, stable releases. Key outcomes I expect: • A living test strategy and risk matrix that maps to business goals • Sprint-level test plans and automated/structured execution reports • Clear, data-driven defect triage and release readiness criteria • UAT coordination that brings product owners and real users into the loop • Final release sign-off backed by verifiable metrics Acceptance criteria: 1. All test artefacts (plans, cases, scripts, and dashboards) reside in our shared Jira/Xray environment with full traceability to requirements. 2. Every critical user flow is validated on at least three target devices per platform, covering latest OS versions plus one back. 3. Voice, SMS, data, and network-hand-over scenarios show zero Sev-1 defects at go-live. If you thrive on owning the entire QA lifecycle, safeguarding app quality, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I’d like to hear how you would tackle this project and what resources or lead time you need to start.

Hi! This is a solid brief. The call for a single owner of QA strategy, from sprint planning to release sign-off across Android and iOS, is exactly the kind of leadership role I excel in. A few things to clarify before we scope this fully: is there an existing QA team to mentor, or would I be building it from scratch? And while you mention Jira/Xray, is the test automation framework (e.g., Appium, Detox) already selected, or is that part of the initial strategy I'll define? My approach is to establish a risk-based test strategy that maps business priorities to test coverage. I'd structure everything within Jira/Xray for complete traceability and build dashboards for real-time visibility. I have deep experience with mobile automation frameworks and can drive the selection and implementation, focusing on critical user flows to maximize ROI and support your weekly release cadence. The emphasis on data-driven release criteria and UAT coordination is key. Embedding QA early in the sprint and creating a clear feedback loop with product owners is what truly accelerates stable releases. I'm happy to go deeper on how I've structured this in past roles.

I run mobile QA for web and mobile stacks, but I do not recruit or manage teams for clients. My work covers test strategy, API/data testing, and full reporting in tools like Jira/Xray. I can own quality for one app or multiple, set up test plans, device coverage, and release criteria, and create or review all test artefacts. Ran QA for multiple production apps on both stores, including regression and network scenario signoff. If you want a QA lead who builds the process and carries out the technical QA personally, I can fit. If you require team recruitment or ongoing people management outside hands-on QA, that's not my service. Pradeep

With over 5 years as full-stack developer, I've gravitated towards an agile approach echoing your commitment to rapid and stable releases. My solid command of API testing, knowledge of Jira-based defect management, and extensive experience coordinating product launches aligns strongly with the key outcomes you desire: a comprehensive test strategy, structured execution reports, data-driven defect triage, UAT coordination, and verifiable release sign-offs. For your mobile application project, I offer more than just mobile application testing expertise—I bring along robust familiarity with functional and regression coverage, end-to-end scenarios, device compatibility checks, network validation across different networks. This means every critical user flow will be thoroughly tested on at least three target devices per platform. Importantly, I share your desire for zero Sev-1 defects at go-live for voice, SMS, data, and network-hand-over scenarios. Centralizing all test artefacts in a shared environment like Jira/Xray where team members can access them easily with full traceability is also something I place great value on. So if you're looking not just for technical proficiency but for a mindful leader who is capable of designing a sound QA strategy and driving every test activity while keeping stakeholders fully aligned. Then I am the best fit for this role.

Re: Mobile App QA Lead My initial assessment for designing and executing a comprehensive QA strategy for your iOS/Android app suggests a stack using Jira/Xray for test management and Appium for cross-platform test automation. I have direct experience implementing automated testing frameworks. For instance, on a past project, I successfully introduced automated testing strategies, reducing manual testing time by 70% and cutting coding errors by 24%. I propose the following key steps: 1. Establish a comprehensive test strategy and risk matrix in Jira/Xray, mapping all user flows and ensuring full traceability to requirements. 2. Develop and implement an automated regression suite using a suitable framework like Appium to validate critical paths on target devices for each weekly release, providing clear execution reports. Happy to elaborate on my approach. Regards, Anton K.
