What You’ll Do:

Technical Outputs:

Perform Planning

• Identify and establish objectives for self and team.
• Work on objectives or goals within timeline.
• Consider all reasonable factors, impediments and obstacles.
• Identify potential alternative strategies and refactor approach for maximum benefit within the shortest possible time.

 Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Functionally Complete

• Deliver a solution which covers all the agreed specified tasks and user objectives.
• Deliver a correct solution which provides the correct results with the needed degree of precision.
• Ensure checked in code is reviewed to ensure standards are met.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution is Reliable

• Ensure the solution performs appropriately under agreed conditions for extended periods of time without the need for intervention (despite potential attacks).
• Ensure all steps are taken to reduce the occurrence of faults due to misunderstood requirements, design errors, and implementation errors.
• Ensure the solution is robust and remains continually available.
• Respond to outages and failures when and where needed.
• Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal.
   

Respond to Outages & Failures

• Provide proactive support to Peers, Testing, Dev Support and Operational teams so number of escalations to the development team is reduced, thereby maximising development time.
• Ensure the solution is durable so that as user volumes and requirements change the solution can evolve over the long term.
• Ensure the solution simplifies support and maintenance support through traceability, and effective error messaging.
• Ensure over time, the solution becomes more mature where the interval between the interventions remain operational, become less frequent.
• Ensure in the event of a failure reduce effective downtime is to the minimum possible.

Implementation – Ensure the Solution has Effective Security

• Ensure the solution is secure, and confidential by protecting all information and data (also data transmission).
• Ensure persons or other solutions have the degree of access appropriate to their level of authorisation and types.
• Ensure the solution has high integrity where the solution prevents unauthorised access to, modification of computer programs, data, or settings.
• Ensure the solution has a high degree of survivability despite third-Party interventions (attacks, human errors, hardware or software faults).
• Employ logs and records so that actions and events can be proven to have taken place and cannot be disputed/repudiated later.
• Ensure wherever possible actions can be traced uniquely to the entity which performed it.
• Ensure wherever possible the identify of an entity can be proved to be the correct one.

  Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Maintainable

• Ensure the solution and its relevant code base supports ease of modification for future maintainers.
• Ensure the use of appropriate standards and methods.
• Ensure where possible (without affecting performance/security) the solution catersformaintenance by support teams rather than developers.
• Ensure modularity where the solution consists of discrete components so that a change in one component has minimal impact on other components.
• Ensure relevant documentation is provided to support teams to reduce development support burden.
• Apply a strategy of reusability so an asset can be used in more than one solution or in building other assets.
• Where possible provide a mechanism for the solution to analyse its own faults and provide reports prior to a critical failure.
• Develop the solution in a manner which supports modification for future developers thereby reducing the numbers of defects or negatively affecting system quality.

You Bring:

• A relevant degree such as BSc, BCom, or Ndip
• At least 3 years of experience in a software testing role.
• ISTQB certifications are advantageous

What You’ll Do:

• Analysis and Design: You will review documentation such as business requirements and specifications. This analysis helps derive accurate test estimates and formulate a strategic test approach, ensuring thorough test coverage.
• Implementation: You are responsible for developing automation and load testing scripts that comply with internal standards and best practices. This should be done while utilising version control tools to maintain organisation and efficiency.
• Execution: You will execute technical tests using relevant tools, ensuring each test is conducted methodically and accurately. This includes the execution of automated regression testing packs.
• Defect Management: A key aspect of your role is formally logging any defects found during testing. You will track the progress of these defects and retest them once they have been addressed.
• Retesting and Regression Testing: You are tasked with conducting both retesting and regression testing to ensure that software changes do not negatively impact existing functionality or performance. You are also responsible for creating and maintaining automated regression test packs, working closely with the functional testing team to define the scope.
• Reporting: You will create test progress and completion reports, leveraging automated reporting capabilities as much as possible.
• Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: You will create documentation to support knowledge sharing within the team. Additionally, you will conduct training sessions to facilitate team upskilling efforts.
