About us

Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth.  Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.


ROLE OVERVIEW

As the QA Engineer, you will define and implement the testing strategy across the CMS, LMS, and frontend components of the platform. You will work across all components, with particular focus on integration points and end-to-end workflows — ensuring that what learners see matches what was approved in the CMS, that assessment scoring is accurate, and that reporting is reliable. This is not a traditional manual-only QA role — you will use AI-assisted development tools, primarily Claude Code, to accelerate test automation, test data generation, and scripting.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Define and implement the testing strategy across CMS, LMS, and frontend.
  • Write and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, E2E).
  • Test API contracts between services (contract testing, integration testing).
  • Perform manual exploratory testing of learner and admin workflows.
  • Validate assessment logic (scoring, pass/fail, professional development hour calculations).
  • Test content rendering accuracy (ensuring what learners see matches what was approved in the CMS).
  • Perform end-to-end content integrity testing: verifying that learner-facing content exactly matches the verified, approved content in the CMS, including citations, references, and assessment content. A rendering bug or data mapping error that silently drops a citation or changes a figure is a serious issue, not just a UI bug.
  • Accessibility testing against WCAG 2.1 AA standards across all learner-facing and admin-facing interfaces.
  • Regression testing across releases.
  • Work with the architect to define quality gates for CI/CD pipelines.
  • Report and track defects, work with developers on reproduction and resolution.
EXPERIENCE

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Experience with test automation frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, or similar for E2E; Jest/Vitest for unit/integration).
  • API testing (Postman, REST client, or programmatic).
  • TypeScript/JavaScript proficiency (to write and maintain test code).
  • Understanding of CI/CD integration for automated test runs.
  • Structured approach to test planning and test case design.
  • Experience with both manual exploratory testing and automated regression.
  • Accessibility testing against WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code) for test automation workflows.
TECHNOLOGIES

Deep understanding of the following technologies is essential:

  • Playwright and/or Cypress for E2E testing.
  • Jest or Vitest for unit and integration testing.
  • API testing tools (Postman, programmatic REST/GraphQL clients).
  • TypeScript and JavaScript.
  • CI/CD integration (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).
  • Git-based version control.
  • Claude Code (or equivalent AI coding assistants) for test automation and scripting.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience testing CMS or LMS platforms.
  • Experience in environments where audit trails and data accuracy matter.
  • Performance and load testing experience.
  • Experience testing applications deployed in cloud environments (Alibaba Cloud, GCP, AWS, or similar).
  • Familiarity with AI/ML evaluation frameworks and testing methodologies.
  • Experience working on AI-first development teams where AI tools drive the majority of code generation and review.
WHO YOU ARE

You are a quality-focused engineer who understands that in a professional training platform, accuracy is not optional. You think systematically about what can go wrong and design tests that catch problems before they reach learners. You’re equally comfortable writing automated test suites and performing hands-on exploratory testing, and you communicate defects clearly so developers can act on them quickly. You care about the end-to-end experience and take pride in knowing that the platform works correctly from content creation through to delivery.
