What you'll do

• Participates in all steps of the software development life cycle and is accountable for producing quality code.
• Participates in a collaborative software development approach to identify and recommend quality assurance practices at the source using automation.
• Conducts basic impact analysis and evaluates effects on regression test suites, code testability, and application performance.
• Performs quality checks and updates automation scripts.
• Identifies and designs basic testing suites for test driven development (TDD) and behavior driven development (BDD).
• Writes and executes moderately complex white box tests at the source code level within unit and component testing.
• Identifies and suggests moderate improvements for code quality, including functionality, structure, performance and maintainability.
• Builds, maintains and reviews mid-level unit and component test suites and conducts automated white box tests.
• Identifies basic improper coding and code quality issues.
• Integrates white box test suites with continuous integration (CI) tools.
• Programs and creates basic to mid-level test cases using unit and component testing tools.
• Develops standard software tools, frameworks and utilities for validation, verification and end-to-end functional testing.
• Identifies and recommends tools and frameworks for testing and creates automated tools for generic use and maintainability.
• Writes standard code that exercises non-user interface components such as APIs, RESTful APIs and web services to develop testing frameworks.
• Integrates automated suites with CI tools for frequent execution.
• Installs and uses basic to moderately complex CI frameworks for continuous testing and continuous deployment / delivery.
• Builds, customizes, and deploys basic to moderately complex test environments and test automation frameworks.
• Performs basic to moderately complex scripting, data generation, and other methods to maintain automation infrastructure.
• Integrates CI tools with other testing infrastructure and develops basic to moderately complex CI reporting and metrics.
• Uses performance, load, security, and service virtualization testing tools to conduct basic testing, analysis and results interpretation.
• Builds, scripts, and generates data used in testing.
• Analyzes moderately complex system performance and responses during loads.
• Applies basic knowledge of procedures, methodology and application standards, including payment card industry and security related compliance, to automated testing activities.
• Applies knowledge of service virtualization concepts and their applicability to application testing.
• Works with stakeholders, business, developers and other analysts to develop test plans, conditions and cases, and learns to perform test data conditioning and execution of test sets.
• Begins to build base knowledge of using multiple environments to validate test conditions and reviews data values while learning system and application components.
• Reports and tracks defects and defect resolutions and closure, and participates in root cause analysis.
• Acts as a single point of contact for assigned small, less complex client projects with regard to test activities.
• Coordinates assigned test team activities, including reviewing client test plans, cases and scripts, prioritizing test execution when necessary, and providing feedback to internal and external clients.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's Degree in Software Engineering, Information Systems or other technical degree; additional experience in lieu of degree will be considered.
• Typically minimum 2 years relevant experience with professional software testing, coding, designing, and developing.
• Applies company policies and procedures to resolve a variety of issues.
• Works on problems of moderate scope, exercising judgment within defined procedures and practices.
• Builds productive internal and external working relationships.
• Knowledge of Agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, Test Driven Development, Behavior Driven Development, etc.
• Programming languages such as Java, Selenium, C#, Perl, Python, Groovy, Oracle, SQL, etc.
• Testing tools across Application Lifecycle Management, Unit Testing, Security, Application Programming Interface, Mobile, Continuous Integration, test harness, and Service Virtualization, etc.

Nice to have

• Master's Degree in Software Engineering, Information Systems or other technical degree.
• Typically minimum 4 years relevant experience developing automated testing strategies in a variety of environments and frameworks.
