- Support and review unit testing activities
- Implement automated e2e testing and sophisticated UI testing
- Integration testing of APIs and end-to-end integration architectures
- Performance and scalability testing
- Supporting security/penetration testing
Requirements:
- Thorough understanding of SDLC, specifically automated QA processes in agile development environments
- Strong working knowledge of testing fundamentals such as TDD & BDD
- Exposure and a solid understanding of testing microservice architecture
- Strong programming skills and understanding of test frameworks, such as JavaScript and C#
- Exposure to generic test automation frameworks for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development, e.g. Web driver IO, Cypress, Selenium
- Exposure to common CI/CD tooling
- Exposure to Consumer-driven contract testing
- Confident using Git
- Confident in building test infrastructures using containerisation technologies such as Docker and working within continuous delivery/continuous release pipeline processes
- Confident testing enterprise applications deployed to cloud environments.
- Cross-browser testing.
- Confident with common RDBMS and NoSQL offerings e.g. PostgreSQL, Redis
- Drive for advocacy of agile/lean delivery methodologies
