Employees in this job function are responsible for designing, developing, test cases based on requirements and automating and deploying into CI/CT pipeline for execution. They are involved in the software test development lifecycle and testing for quality and deploying the software to meet customer requirements.
What you'll do
- Software Requirements Analysis: Analyze software requirements to inform test strategy and ensure comprehensive test coverage.
- Test Case Design & Review: Design, author, and review detailed L2 test cases in TestRail, covering various testing types including Smoke Test, Sanity Test, Feature Regression Test, and Stability Test.
- Test Environment Configuration: Configure and integrate a wide array of test tools, including test management systems, defect tracking systems, test automation frameworks, measurement tools, and debuggers.
- Test Script Implementation: Develop, automate, and maintain robust test suites and scripts (e.g., using Gtest, Python, frameworks) and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines to provide continuous feedback on component quality.
- Automated Test Execution: Oversee and perform automated test execution for nightly engineering, and release builds, ensuring comprehensive logging and monitoring of results.
- Defect Management: Identify, report, and analyze test failures to pinpoint defects. Manage defect tracking and retesting activities to ensure timely resolution.
- Reporting & Analysis: Generate detailed test execution reports, summarizing pass/fail rates, execution progress, and test coverage metrics.
- Coverage Analysis: Conduct thorough analysis of test coverage metrics (e.g., requirement coverage, code coverage, interface coverage) to identify gaps and drive continuous improvement in testing.
- Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Investigate test failures to determine the root cause, distinguishing between defects in the System Under Test (SUT), test environment issues, or problems within the test case/script itself.
- Maintenance & Continuous Improvement: Proactively update test cases and automation scripts to reflect changes in requirements, design, or bug fixes. Drive continuous improvements in test coverage, particularly by expanding negative scenario use cases.
