Duties & Responsibilities    

• Keep abreast of latest IT trends and practices to optimise service
• Oversee the complete test cycle of software development, from requirements testing to user acceptance and release testing.
• Operationalise testing strategy in line with best practice standards to ensure alignment between testing and development activities.
• Define testing objectives and quality criteria to plan for testing at different stages of the development cycle to reduce potential for error.
• Execute end to end functional tests and utilise developed automated tests to ensure optimal functioning of applications in line with business requirements.
• Manage the testing operation of systems or applications under controlled conditions and evaluate the results against expectations.
• Apply an understanding of distributed systems to configure test environments and execute test plans in line with business requirements.
• Manage test cases, test designs, service and support documentation to ensure that testing and support of applications are accurate and meet expectations.
• Evaluate and understand software and applications functionality to determine appropriate test methodologies relative to the application being tested.
• Implement defect tracking and test case management systems to document test sets, defects and record test case execution results.
• Collaborate with the software development team or operations team to troubleshoot and remediate issues in production environments to drive quality and performance of systems or applications.
• Collaborate with various teams to ensure that all testing related work is carried out as per defined standards and procedures.
• Document UAT test scenarios, test cases and test scripts with the business analysis team to ensure business requirements are met.
• Implement shift-left testing by engaging early in requirements and design walkthroughs; conduct impact and risk assessments to inform test scope and prioritisation.
• Perform API and integration testing using tools such as Postman, Swagger, SoapUI, and support contract testing practices where applicable.

• Contribute to and participate in Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives).
• Create and maintain test strategies, test approaches, traceability matrices, and test closure reports; ensure requirements traceability to test cases and defects.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and maintain test suites for regression and smoke testing.
• Conduct non-functional testing including performance/load (e.g., JMeter, k6), basic security checks (OWASP awareness), accessibility (WCAG), and usability validation.
• Perform data validation and back-end testing using SQL to verify data integrity, ETL/data migrations, and end-to-end data flows.
• Support testing of microservices and event-driven architectures, including message queues and API gateways.
• Execute tests in cloud (AWS/Azure) and containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes); interpret logs and metrics via observability tools where applicable.
• Produce test metrics and dashboards (e.g., coverage, defect trends, execution progress, leakage) to inform decision making.
