Evaluate and, where useful, adopt an Azure DevOps MCP Server to connect AI tooling to test plans and work items.

Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot in day-to-day test development.
Experience reviewing and translating existing manual test documentation into structured test cases and executable automation.
Ability to assess regression test coverage, identify duplication and gaps, and prioritize automation based on business value and execution effort.
Solid grasp of software testing practices: regression, smoke and end-to-end strategy, and defect triage.
Clear written and verbal communication, and the ability to work with little supervision.
Nice to have
Experience with Playwright CodeGen and Playwright MCP for AI-assisted test creation.
Hands-on experience with an Azure DevOps MCP Server, or the interest to evaluate one.
