Be part of a forward-thinking environment where your skills in test automation, system testing, and continuous integration will propel projects from development to successful release with precision and confidence.

Duties

• Develop, execute, and maintain comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scripts to validate software functionality across various applications and platforms.
• Implement and manage test automation frameworks using tools such as Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber, and Jenkins to streamline testing processes and improve efficiency.
• Conduct functional, system, integration, performance (using LoadRunner), and user acceptance testing to verify software meets business requirements.
• Perform root cause analysis on defects to identify underlying issues and collaborate with development teams to resolve bugs swiftly.
• Utilize SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) best practices to ensure quality is integrated throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support release management by verifying software builds, conducting regression testing, and ensuring smooth deployment processes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including developers, business analysts, and DevOps engineers to optimize testing strategies within Agile (Scrum) or Waterfall methodologies.
• Use tools like Jira, GitHub, GitLab, TFS (Team Foundation Server), SVN (Subversion), and Azure DevOps for tracking issues, version control, and continuous integration workflows.
• Analyze data from tests to identify performance bottlenecks or system vulnerabilities; leverage knowledge of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), RESTful services, SOAP web services, SQL/PL-SQL databases (MySQL, Oracle), and cloud platforms like AWS or Azure for comprehensive testing coverage.
• Provide technical support during testing phases by troubleshooting software issues on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS environments using Visual Studio, Eclipse, or other IDEs.
