Introduction:

Are you a skilled test automation expert who thrives on creating efficient, repeatable test processes to ensure software quality? Do you enjoy designing automated test suites that can quickly identify bugs and improve the reliability of software releases? If you're passionate about leveraging automation to drive faster, more reliable testing, then our client has the perfect role for you. We’re looking for a Test Automation Engineer (aka The Automation Ace) to develop and manage automated test scripts that ensure the quality and performance of our software.

As a Test Automation Engineer at our client, you’ll work closely with developers and QA teams to design and implement automated test strategies that cover a wide range of use cases. This role is not just about writing scripts—it’s about improving overall testing efficiency, ensuring scalability, and enabling fast, continuous releases.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Automated Test Script Development:
  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, JUnit, or similar tools. You’ll create robust, reusable scripts to automate functional, regression, and integration testing across various platforms.
Test Strategy and Framework Implementation:
  • Define and implement the overall test automation strategy, selecting the appropriate tools, frameworks, and approaches to meet the project’s needs. You’ll ensure that test automation integrates seamlessly into the CI/CD pipeline for continuous testing.
Test Execution and Reporting:
  • Run automated tests, analyze results, and provide detailed reports on test coverage, performance, and issues. You’ll work with the QA and development teams to interpret test results and ensure that bugs are logged and resolved promptly.
CI/CD Integration:
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI. You’ll ensure that automated tests run continuously during the development lifecycle, enabling faster and more reliable releases.
Test Optimization and Maintenance:
  • Continuously improve and optimize existing test automation frameworks and scripts. You’ll refactor code, update test cases, and ensure that the automated testing suite remains up-to-date with the evolving codebase.
Collaboration with Development Teams:
  • Work closely with developers, product managers, and other QA engineers to ensure that test automation covers critical functionalities and edge cases. You’ll contribute to test planning and actively participate in design discussions.
Performance and Load Testing:
  • Develop automated performance and load testing scripts to ensure that the software can handle high traffic and heavy loads. You’ll identify performance bottlenecks and provide recommendations for optimizations.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Test Automation Expertise: Strong experience with test automation frameworks and tools such as Selenium, Cypress, JUnit, TestNG, or similar. You’re skilled at building robust, scalable test scripts and frameworks from scratch.
  • Programming Knowledge: Proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used in test automation, such as Python, Java, JavaScript, or Ruby. You can write and debug test scripts efficiently.
  • CI/CD Integration: Experience integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Travis CI. You’re familiar with continuous testing methodologies.
  • Test Strategy and Planning: Ability to design and implement comprehensive test automation strategies that cover functional, regression, performance, and load testing. You can define test coverage and scope effectively.
  • Problem-Solving and Debugging: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot issues within automated tests and quickly resolve them.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. Equivalent experience in test automation or software testing is also valued.
  • Certifications in software testing or test automation (e.g., ISTQB Automation Engineer) are a plus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in test automation, with hands-on experience developing automated test scripts and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines. You’ve worked in fast-paced environments and delivered high-quality automated testing solutions.
  • Proven experience with cloud-based testing environments and test management tools.
  • Experience in performance and load testing, with a focus on identifying and resolving bottlenecks.
