Documentation: Help maintain and update testing documentation, even when it is incomplete, by asking the right questions and keeping records of your findings.

Challenges:

Start-up Environment: Adapt to a fast-paced startup setting where documentation might not always be up-to-date, and tasks may change rapidly.
