Test management - Role
Test manager
The person responsible for planning, coordinating and reporting software testing
What's it for?
Plans and coordinates testing so the right things are checked and quality risks are visible.
For example…
The test manager plans testing, tracks defects and advises on release readiness
A test manager coordinates testers, environments and defect reporting across a programme and tells leadership where quality risks remain
Think of it like…
Stage manager for quality — not every actor, but the one who makes sure rehearsals happen, cues are clear, and opening night is ready
