C. The Role
This role would suit a driven and motivated an Engineer. Day to day you will:
Test Planning
o Test Strategy: Develop test strategies that outline the scope, approach, resources,
and schedule of testing activities.
o Test Case Creation: Design test cases based on requirements, user stories, or
product specifications to cover different functionality and scenarios of the software.
o Test Plan Documentation: Document the test plan, which includes the testing
scope, objectives, resources required, and timeline.
Test Execution
Manual Testing: Perform manual testing by executing test cases on the software to
check for functionality, usability, and performance issues. This includes testing
specific features, workflows, and user interactions.
o Automated Testing: Write and execute automated tests using testing frameworks
and tools (e.g., TestNG, JUnit, or Cypress) to validate functionality and catch
regressions efficiently.
o Regression Testing: Test new features and ensure they don't break existing
functionality, often by executing previous test cases.
o Smoke and Sanity Testing: Perform initial quick checks (smoke testing) and shallow
testing (sanity testing) to confirm the basic functionality of the software before more
detailed testing begins.
Bug Reporting & Tracking
o Bug Identification: Identify bugs and issues, documenting them clearly with
sufficient details to help developers reproduce the problem.
o Bug Reporting: Use bug tracking tools (e.g., Azure) to report issues and track their
resolution.
o Re-testing: Once developers fix the bugs, re-test the software to confirm the issue
has been resolved and that no new problems have been introduced.
Test Automation
o Test Scripts: Write automation scripts using programming languages like C#,
JavaScript, or specific testing frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Appium) to
automate repetitive and time-consuming testing tasks.
o Continuous Integration (CI): Integrate automated tests into a CI/CD pipeline using
tools like Azure to ensure that tests are automatically run whenever code is
committed to the repository.
o Test Maintenance: Continuously update and maintain automated tests as the
software evolves to ensure that they remain relevant and effective.
Performance Testing
o Load Testing: Assess how well the software performs under expected and high
traffic loads. Tools like JMeter, LoadRunner, or Gatling are used to simulate large
numbers of users and ensure the system can handle it.
o Stress Testing: Push the system beyond its limits to find out how it fails, in order to
improve its robustness and error handling.

o Scalability Testing: Verify whether the system can scale effectively as it handles an
increasing volume of data or users.
Security Testing
o Vulnerability Testing: Identify potential security vulnerabilities and exploits within
the software by performing tests like penetration testing or using tools like OWASP
ZAP.
o Data Protection: Ensure that sensitive data (e.g., personal information, passwords)
is stored and transmitted securely and is not vulnerable to attacks like SQL injection
or XSS.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
o UAT Support: Work with stakeholders, business analysts, or end-users to support
and verify User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring the product meets business
requirements and is ready for deployment.
o Feedback Collection: Gather feedback from UAT testers to understand user
concerns or issues and address them accordingly.
Team Collaboration
o Work with Developers: Collaborate closely with developers to understand code
changes, share feedback, and help reproduce bugs.
o Work with Business Analyst and Product Managers: Understand the software
requirements and expected behaviour to ensure proper test coverage.
o Agile/Scrum Participation: Actively participate in Agile or Scrum processes (sprints,
stand-ups, retrospectives) to align testing activities with development cycles.
Documentation and Reporting
o Test Reports: Document testing activities, including test cases, test results, and bug
reports. Provide clear feedback to the development team.
o Test Metrics: Track testing progress using metrics like test coverage, defect density,
and test execution rate, and report on the quality of the software.
o Test Case Maintenance: Continuously update test cases as software evolves and
new features are added.

Your Skills
The successful candidate should demonstrate:
Technical skills
o Automated Testing: Experience with test automation tools like Selenium, JUnit,
