- Create new test frameworks and capabilities, including simulation based, hardware in the loop, or other methods
- Identify missing or untestable requirements, gaps in design and incomplete implementation
- Develop novel approaches to evaluate the system
- Develop and improve processes that increase operational efficiency of test execution
- Debug and resolve test-related failures, contribute to the root cause analysis of system-related failures
