New York - Sr. Tester

Description

Test responsibilities primarily involve functional and security test automation work, with performance testing.

• Implement an efficient and scalable Selenium Webdriver framework and with designing multiple types of automation frameworks including data-driven, modular, and database.
• Identify and write efficient test automation scripts using Selenium Webdriver. Use Java programming concepts (variable, loop, procedure, function, data types and collections, exceptions, and debugging your code). This task is coding scripts and not using simple recording of the UI.
• Write code in one or more programming languages like Java, C#, Python, Javascript etc to automate tests for the full solution stack (UI, App Layer, API, Web Service, batch jobs, etc)
• Automate smoke tests and regression test suites
• Review peer scripts before they are checked into the test automation library.
• Cross-train and guide other team members on the automation framework and scripts development.
• Develops and maintains software test plans, test cases, and scripts and scenarios in accordance with current QA procedures and methodologies to accurately describe test scope and test schedules.

• Conducts automated and manual tests to ensure that the software created/upgraded performs as necessary and meets the user requirements. Develops and maintains user and technical documentation and project process documentation for application teams. Understands the view of applications and/or technology and is able to put procedures in a logical sequence.
• Experience (8+ Years)

• 84 months of experience writing and maintaining manual functional testing for enterprise level systems.
• 24 months of experience writing and maintaining automated test scripts using Selenium to test data quality and system functionality.
• ISTQB or CSTE certification
