The present simple tense is used to talk about regular actions or routines.
Remember, to form the present simple, you use the base verb for I, you, we, they (I code, they test), and you add -s or -es for he, she, it (he codes, she tests).
In a work context, describing daily tasks is typically done using the present simple tense, as these are habitual actions.
