In contrast to traditional QA organizations, Software Engineering in Test operates as an engineering discipline within the overall software engineering organization with the charter to design, develop and execute test automation. The Software Engineering in Test will apply software and test engineering knowledge to design, develop and implement test plans for software systems and applications of moderate to high complexity. They also will own the design and development of test plans and help drive the development of test automation as well as be the point of escalation and technical expert for any data integration defects or incidents due to project related testing. While the Software Engineer in Test supports developers as they write unit tests, the primary focus is on test validation & delivery of executables - be it functional or architecture. With that notion, they develop test code & automation for the system/software/architecture-under-test, covering Functional, Contract/SLA, Performance, E2E and Security test areas. Manual testing is highly selective, used in support of one of the following: new functionality that is not ready (i.e., mature/stable) for automation, deprecated legacy code not worth the expense of automating, or exploratory testing to determine if more automation is needed.
