Responsibilities: Test Planning & Design: - Develop comprehensive test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria. - Collaborate with product managers and developers to understand requirements and user stories. - Define test coverage for features, integrations, and regression. Manual Testing: - Execute functional, regression, UI/UX, cross-browser, and cross-device testing. - Log bugs in Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar tools with clear reproduction steps. - Verify bug fixes and retest impacted areas. Automated Testing: - Build and maintain automated test scripts with tools like Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright. - Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI). - Monitor and troubleshoot test automation failures. Performance & Security Testing: - Conduct load/stress testing with JMeter or Locust. - Support security vulnerability scans and penetration test remediation. Documentation & Reporting: - Maintain updated documentation of test plans, cases, and results. - Provide detailed reports on test execution, defect trends, and quality metrics. - Track quality KPIs (defect density, test coverage, pass/fail ratios). Collaboration: - Work closely with developers to reproduce, isolate, and resolve defects. - Participate in sprint ceremonies and advocate for quality in Agile workflows. - Provide feedback on product design for usability and testability. What Makes You a Perfect Fit: - Detail-oriented and relentless in uncovering issues. - Strong communicator who documents clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Comfortable balancing speed of delivery with thorough quality coverage. - Proactive problem solver who anticipates edge cases and risks. Required Experience & Skills (Minimum): - 2+ years QA or software testing experience. - Proficiency with test management and bug-tracking tools (Jira, TestRail, Zephyr). - Familiarity with test automation frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright). - Strong understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies. Ideal Experience & Skills: - Industry experience in SaaS, finance, healthcare, or enterprise software. - Familiarity with API testing tools (Postman, RestAssured). - Exposure to security testing or compliance-heavy environments. - Experience integrating QA into CI/CD pipelines. What Does a Typical Day Look Like? A QA Tester’s day revolves around validating functionality and preventing defects from reaching production. You will: - Start by reviewing requirements and user stories to design or refine test cases. - Execute manual and automated tests on new features and bug fixes. - Log defects with detailed notes for developers, collaborating on reproduction. - Participate in daily standups, providing quality updates on ongoing sprints. - Review regression test results after each build or deployment. - Update test documentation and report quality metrics to leadership. In essence: you are the last line of defense before release, ensuring products meet quality standards and deliver a reliable user experience. Key Metrics for Success (KPIs): - Defect detection rate before production release. - Regression test coverage percentage. - Time-to-resolution of logged bugs. - % of releases deployed without critical/severe defects. - Positive stakeholder confidence in product quality. Interview Process: - Initial Phone Screen - Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter - Practical Task (e.g., design a test plan or execute a sample bug test case) - Client Interview with QA/Engineering Leadership - Offer & Background Verification
