  • Functional Quality Assurance and Test Automation:
  • Perform a systematic and continuous validation of all implemented functionalities with notice of non-conformities (failures), as well as the proposal of functional improvements based on the results of the tests;
  • Design and implement an automated test suite (unit, integration, and end-to-end) that ensures system stability, enables secure code refactoring, and supports an integration and continuous delivery pipeline;
  • Incorporate testing into each stage of the slice development lifecycle. This includes collaboration in the definition of acceptance criteria and the proposition of appropriate tests for each level and phase of the project.
  • Usability and User Experience Evaluation:
  • Plan and execute formal usability tests, evaluating user interaction both in the application's standalone interface and in its hybrid mode (integrated with a Learning Management System - LMS);
  • Assess the cognitive load and intuitiveness of interactions, with special attention to their suitability for users with different levels of digital literacy and belonging to different school levels;
  • Based on the analysis of test results and research of good practices in HCI, propose and validate iterative improvements in interface design and interaction flow to maximize effectiveness and user satisfaction.
  • Non-Functional Testing: Performance, Scalability, and Security:
  • Perform load and stress tests to identify the operating limits of the system, ensure its performance under high demand and prevent failures. Additionally, perform vulnerability analysis and security testing to ensure data protection and prototype integrity;
  • Integrate performance test execution into the development pipeline, enabling continuous monitoring and early identification of bottlenecks or performance degradations introduced by new functionality slices.
  • Documentation and Scientific Dissemination:
  • Prepare detailed reports on design approaches, test results, and impact on the learning environment;
  • Actively contribute to scientific publications and the academic community in general.
