I identify root causes such as timing issues or test data dependency, and apply solutions like retry mechanisms, proper waits, and isolation of tests.
I use Appium with parallel execution, and ensure tests are device-agnostic by using unique locators and handling platform-specific differences.
I participate in design reviews, define acceptance criteria, and advocate for testability early in development. I also share automation metrics and discuss test coverage.
