The ideal candidate will effectively design, evaluate, and implement automated tests sets including a) full test coverage of the features/stories included in a product release; and b) complete application regression test suites for each module/feature in applications to ensure functional continuity as the applications are extended and/or re-factored.

Essential Functions:

• Work with Business Analysts to identify scenarios to be tested to verify that required functionality exists (or has not been broken).
• Write test scenarios in Gherkin syntax to provide consistency in how requirements are defined and in a manner that can easily be read by business takeholders, business analysts, designers, developers and testers.
• Utilize a BDD (Behavior Driven Development) framework, such as SpecFlow, to capture all application scenarios as living documentation and implement the UI automation code that verifies that scenarios either Pass or Fail.
• Create and maintain the test code in Azure DevOps code repositories.
• Build Azure DevOps Pipelines to automate test project builds, test runs and status reporting.
• Engage in regression testing across multiple environments leading up to production releases.
• Deploy automated tests to lower environments (DEV QA, UAT) and identify any issues and subsequent solutions.
• Maintain all test code using standard version control protocols.
• Identify, report, and follow up on defects, ensuring they are resolved in line with expected outcomes.
• Verify that resolved issues and completed Azure stories meet all requirements.
• Create, implement, and manage comprehensive testing strategies to cover all aspects of the software.
• Design end-to-end tests for scenarios involving multiple applications and integration tests for cross-team dependencies.
• Provide accurate estimations of testing efforts during sprint and PI (Program Increment) planning.
• Gain deep business and application knowledge to predict user behavior accurately.
• Work closely with developers to understand intended application behaviors and ensure alignment with test strategies.

Education and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in information technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, or related field. Equivalent experience will also be considered.
• Experience, Skills and Competencies Required
• Proven experience in software quality assurance with a strong understanding of software development life cycles and Agile methodologies.
• Strong technical and analytical skills, with experience in creating and managing testing strategies and designing complex integration tests.
• Experience with Azure DevOps, Miro, FIGMA, and other project management and design tools.
• Excellent problem-solving abilities, able to identify defects, and design gaps and suggest effective resolutions.
• Strong communication skills, capable of conveying technical and business concepts to diverse audiences and leading cross-functional teams.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a fast-paced environment, balancing multiple projects and priorities effectively.
