  7. Develop and execute tests cases where automation is less applicable i.e. less ROI
  8. Work directly with developers in the understanding and resolution of defects
  9. Help the team to improve test processes and automation in an agile environment, supporting a regular release cycle
  10. Liaise with QA representatives from other teams where applications have an element of integration or share components

  4. Natural curiosity with advanced analysis and problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail
  5. Experience with testing across a wide variety of software, including complex web-based applications and APIs
  6. Ability to review requirements and structure an appropriate test strategy
  7. Experience of analysing and leveraging existing automation test coverage to inform manual test activities
  8. Experience with issue management tools such as Azure DevOps or Jira
  9. Ability to work in a fast-paced Agile team and environment
  10. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, able to clearly articulate your thoughts, and receptive to the views of others

Technical Skills

  1. Experience with test automation, with extensive years of experience in hands-on test automation development at a code level using JavaScript or TypeScript.
  2. Experience with unit test style frameworks in JavaScript (e.g. Mocha). i.e. not BDD, Cucumber, Specflow etc.

  6. Experience in guiding continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) processes, ideally with hands-on experience of implementation.
