- Use profiling and monitoring tools to analyze and optimize application performance and resource usage.
Testing and Quality Assurance:
- Write unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure the reliability and stability of the application.
- Conduct code reviews and participate in peer programming sessions to maintain code quality and share knowledge.
- Collaborate with quality assurance teams to identify and resolve software defects and improve test coverage.
Documentation and Collaboration:
- Document technical specifications, API endpoints, and architectural decisions to ensure maintainability and knowledge sharing.
- Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including front-end developers, product managers, and system administrators, to understand requirements, provide technical insights, and deliver solutions.
