Designs comprehensive test plans for a functional area, selecting strategies to address technical unknowns and scalability. Manages test environments, executes validation for critical services, and performs risk-based regression. Investigates and reports defects, participates in post-incident reviews, and tracks quality metrics. Collaborates across teams to align test activities and improve tools and processes. Develops automation scripts, executes tests in Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, and applies quality gate criteria at key checkpoints.
Key Responsibilities
Test Design and Strategy:- Designs comprehensive test plans that align with quality goals of the function and product vision. - Chooses strategies based on behavior to inform architecture and tooling initiatives. - Evaluates coverage to account for technical unknowns and scalability across systems within own functional test area. Test Execution:- Manages test environments and ensures adequate data for testing. - Executes validation tasks for critical service areas by following test plans, identifying defects, and escalating risks to support prioritization and service quality. - Follows documentation for failures across components, working with others to implement corrections where needed. - Performs risk-based regression to balance speed, risk, and automation coverage across products or services. Defect Tracking and Management:- Reproduces, diagnoses, and collaborates on customer-reported issues, ensuring timely resolution. - Investigates and escalates defects across features. - Owns reporting on test progress/defects, working with engineering to address root causes. - Contributes to post-incident (post-mortem) reviews by gathering relevant data, documenting observations, and assisting in the identification of root causes; supports the drafting of findings and preventative actions for leadership review. - Leads triage for components on root cause analysis to uncover recurring quality issues and drive improvements. Collaboration and Communication:- Assists with cross-functional quality initiatives by tracking test coverage against feature delivery, surfacing test concerns, and supporting coordination with partner teams on test activities. - Works with cross-functional development team members to align on areas for testing. - Influences the design and prioritizes testing and tooling. - Develops and enhances test management and automation tools to improve automation and test processes. Continuous Improvement:- Follows and applies established processes to improve consistency and reduce friction in engineering workflows within a defined feature or task area. Automation:- Participates in quality improvement efforts by sharing observations and documenting test execution gaps within the team. - Implements automation scripts by following established patterns to support test coverage within a component or feature. - Identifies and reports automation issues by executing tests and escalating failures or gaps to senior team members. - Executes automated tests within Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflows and raise issues related to test failures or integration breaks. Risk Assessment:- Identifies quality risks early and collaborates to mitigate them. - Applies quality gate criteria on checklist at key software development checkpoints by reviewing test results, static analysis outputs, and defect trends, soliciting approval for completion. - Reviews test plans to ensure potential impact areas are accurately identified and addressed by Scrum teams, coordinating across functions to confirm adequate test coverage and risk mitigation. Test Tooling:- Develops and enhances test management and automation tools that increase efficiency and scalability.
Additional Responsibilities (as needed): Performance Testing:- Tests non-functional requirements, including single-user performance, scalability, and responsiveness under dynamic workloads. - Engages performance to support load testing, tooling, and system tuning for high-risk or complex scenarios. - Incorporates user experience considerations into performance assessments to ensure acceptable response times and system usability.
Core Responsibilities
Planning & Execution:- Independently manages work, monitoring timelines and deliverables to ensure projects or initiatives stay on track and meet requirements. - Proactively prioritizes work and adapts to resource or timeline shifts, suggesting adjustments to maintain project efficiency. Collaboration & Partnership:- Collaborates across teams to align on expectations and achieve shared objectives. - Builds and maintains a comprehensive understanding of business, stakeholder, and/or customer needs to build and support effective partnerships. - Actively listens to diverse perspectives and asks questions to ensure understanding of others. Problem Solving:- Independently identifies and addresses standard and non-standard issues in accordance with standard practices, escalating more complex issues as appropriate. - Analyzes data and/or information from multiple sources to troubleshoot standard and non-standard errors. - Contributes to knowledge sharing and best practices. Continuous Learning:- Embraces continuous learning by actively seeking to build knowledge and new skills and/or tools, and staying current with industry trends and best practices. - Seeks out and leverages feedback and training to improve skills. - Contributes to a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing with team members. Continuous Improvement:- Develops ideas and recommends updates to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of processes, protocols, and workflows within a team. - Seeks input from team members on alternative approaches and methods for improving work.
