ROLE OVERVIEW

We're seeking a skilled software tester to support the delivery of multiple projects introducing new applications, data transfer solutions, and migration activities from legacy platforms. These initiatives are critical to a sensitive operational environment and will involve significant system and process change.

Review and analyze project requirements and technical documentation to fully understand expected system behavior.

Design detailed test strategies, including the creation of test scenarios, cases, and data sets to validate both functional and non-functional aspects.

Carry out manual and automated test execution, capturing results, and highlighting issues or inconsistencies.

Log and track defects, providing clear reproduction steps, severity assessment, and prioritization for resolution.

Collaborate closely with developers, business analysts, and project managers to resolve issues and improve overall product quality.

Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of test activities, results, and defect reports.

Conduct regression testing to ensure that changes or enhancements do not impact existing functionality.

Apply industry standards and frameworks (such as SFIA v9) to guide quality assurance practices.
