Summary of This Role

Performs and participates in application development and testing to apply continuous quality and testability of code throughout the software development lifecycle. Builds quality within the software development process with automated testing suites providing a comprehensive view from code quality to functionality. Uses quality paradigms to provide real time quality with use of automation and frequent regression testing. Designs / develops and maintains automation frameworks and automation test suites and scripts with continuous integration, testing, deployment and delivery. Conducts performance, load, security and service virtualization testing.

What Part Will You Play?

• Assists in all steps of the software development life cycle and produces basic quality code. Assists with collaborative software development approach to identify and provide quality assurance at the source using a moderate degree of automation. Supports peers with impact analysis, evaluating and identifying affects to regression test suites, testability of code, and application performance to reduce negative influences on continuous testing. Performs quality checks along with updating of automation scripts as directed. Exposed to testing suites for test driven development (TDD) and behavior driven development (BDD) to allow early and frequent testing as the software is developed.
•  1) Writes and executes basic application tests at the source code level to prevent hidden errors (i.e., white box testing) within unit and component testing. Begins to identify and suggest basic improvements for code quality to improve deficiencies from functionality through structure of code for performance and maintainability. Builds, maintains and reviews simple unit and component test suites and conducts automated white box tests as directed. Begins to Identify improper coding and code quality issues. Assists with integration of white box test suites with continuous integration (CI) tools. Programs and creates basic test cases using unit and component testing tools for code level testing as directed.
•  2) Develops basic software tools, frameworks and utilities for validation / verification activities and end-to-end functional testing of software. Writes basic code that uses / exercises non-user interface (UI) components like application program interface's (API's), representational state transfer API (RESTful API), and web services similar to the end user to develop frameworks for testing. Integrates automated suites with continuous integration (CI) tools for frequent execution as directed.
•  3) Installs and uses basic CI frameworks in continuous testing and continuous deployment / delivery as directed. Builds, customizes, and deploys basic test environments and test automation frameworks. Performs basic scripting, data generation, and other methods to maintain automation infrastructure throughout the development. Integrates CI tools with other testing infrastructure and develops standard reporting / metrics on CI.
•  4) Uses performance, load, security, and service virtualization testing tools to conduct testing, analyzing and interpreting results as directed. Assists with building, scripting, and generating data. Analyzes basic system performance and responses during loads. Applies a basic knowledge of procedures, methodology and / or application standards to include payment card industry and security related compliance to testing activities using automation.
•  5) Assists stakeholders, business, developers and other analysts to develop test plans, conditions and cases (set of inputs, execution preconditions, and expected outcomes developed for a particular objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement) to be used in testing, and learns to perform test data conditioning and execution of test sets. Begins to build a base knowledge of using multiple environments to validate test conditions and reviews data values while learning the various components of the systems and the applications.
•  6) Works in a team on test activities assigned by team owner, to include, reviewing of client test plans cases and scripts.
