WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Test preparation and coverage
- Review requirements and acceptance criteria with the team to clarify expected behavior before testing begins.
- Prepare test cases and test data that cover key user workflows, error conditions, and boundary cases; agree testing priorities with the lead.
- Execute functional, exploratory, smoke, and regression tests to check new features and confirm existing workflows still work.
- Record results and evidence against the tested build, including relevant browser and device checks, so the team can understand what passed, failed, or remains untested.
- Check application programming interface (API) responses and integrations against expected behavior, including invalid inputs and error handling, with guidance where needed.
- Use approved tools and basic database queries to check data accuracy in test environments; protect confidential information and use only authorized test data.
- Report defects with reproduction steps, expected and observed results, test environment details, and supporting evidence so developers can investigate.
- Discuss defect impact and priority with the team, retest fixes, and check affected workflows before closing issues.
- Contribute testing estimates, dependencies, and progress updates during planning and team discussions; raise blockers early.
- Support user acceptance testing (UAT) by preparing scenarios, helping business users reproduce issues, and recording their feedback.
- Keep test cases, results, and known issues current so the team can reuse them and understand testing coverage.
- Summarize completed tests, unresolved defects, and remaining risks for release review; escalate concerns to the Technology Leader for decisions.
- Use review feedback and defects found after release to improve test coverage and reduce repeat testing gaps.
- Learn the team’s QA tools and assist with simple automated tests under guidance as skills develop.
- Perform other related QA duties assigned by the supervisor.
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience may also be considered.
- Experience: 0–2 years in software testing or a related role. Fresh graduates with testing experience from internships, coursework, or personal projects are welcome to apply.
- Understand test cases, acceptance criteria, the defect lifecycle, and the purpose of functional and regression testing.
- Write clear test steps and defect reports, compare results against requirements, and identify missing or ambiguous behavior.
- Understand basic web application behavior, API request-response concepts, and database queries used for data validation.
- Use issue tracking and test documentation tools, and handle test data according to access and confidentiality requirements.
- Preferred: Exposure to API testing tools, Git, or basic test automation. Prior automation experience is helpful but not required.
- Examine details carefully and ask questions when requirements or results are unclear.
- Explain issues clearly to technical and non-technical colleagues, and discuss findings constructively.
- Organize assigned work, keep the team informed of progress, and escalate risks or delays promptly.
