Job Overview

Work closely as part of a project QA team to design, architect, and implement robust software test solutions, focusing on end-to-end automation and best-practice manual testing. The goal is to deliver high-quality, thoroughly tested releases in Agile environments across complex technology stacks.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate effectively with other QA testers, developers, and stakeholders to clarify project requirements and test objectives.
• Design, architect, and script comprehensive test plans and test cases for software applications.
• Lead or contribute to developing test frameworks, prioritizing scalable and reusable architecture.
• Execute end-to-end automated and manual tests, ensuring complete coverage of business and technical requirements.
• Document and track test results, ensuring timely defect identification, reporting, and resolution.
• Promote testing best practices within Agile and continuous delivery frameworks.
• Interface with clients and internal stakeholders for requirement analysis and defect triage.

Must-Have Skills and Competencies

• Proven test design, architecture, and scripting knowledge.
• Experience in developing test cases and test plans using best practices.
• In-depth knowledge of the software test life cycle (STLC) activities and Agile methodologies (e.g., SCRUM, Kanban).
• Hands-on automation testing skills using Selenium with Java.
• Familiarity with overall testing processes and continuous test automation best practices.
• Analytical thinking for root cause analysis and effective problem-solving.
• Client interfacing experience; clear and precise communication with stakeholders.
• Strong team coordination and collaboration abilities.

Nice to Have

• Experience in frameworks/tools like TestNG, JUnit, BDD (Cucumber), and API automation (Postman, RestAssured).
• Familiarity with DevOps integration pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps, ALM Octane).
• Cloud testing exposure and knowledge of compliance or regulated environments (e.g., ISO 9001).
• Understanding of airline or travel industry domain (if SITA-specific).

How to Prepare for the Interview

• Practice designing layered test architectures for scalable, maintainable automation.
• Brush up on Selenium–Java automation scripting, as well as manual test case development.
• Review STLC phases and related Agile testing activities (planning, execution, retrospective).
• Prepare stories illustrating collaborative testing, client communication, and successful defect resolution.
• Get hands-on with common test management and reporting tools (JIRA, ALM Octane, Azure DevOps).
• Review integration of automated tests within pipelines and emphasize continuous feedback practices.

How to Prepare the Resume

• Highlight specific experiences in test design, scripting, and automation (especially with Selenium and Java).
• List any frameworks, tools, and environments (Cloud, DevOps, Agile) you’ve worked in.
• Demonstrate your client and team interfacing skills through concrete examples.
• Quantify impacts: coverage, defect reduction, automation improvements, or process enhancements.
• Showcase any exposure to regulated or industry-specific environments if applicable.
