The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience writing automation code in Java, building robust Selenium frameworks, validating data using SQL, and ensuring software quality through both manual and automated testing practices.
What will you do?
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using Java and Selenium WebDriver.
• Evaluate developer implementations, independently analyze requirements, and engineer comprehensive test scenarios that validate expected functionality while identifying potential failure conditions.
• Develop and execute test plans, test cases, test procedures, test scripts, and test scenarios.
• Perform both manual and automated testing throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Validate application data using SQL queries across Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL databases.
• Conduct testing using repeatable processes based on industry best practices and document test results.
• Ensure QA and testing approaches address known vulnerabilities and follow established testing best practices.
• Maintain, configure, and update testing environments.
• Work collaboratively in a dynamic and evolving development environment.
Do you have what it takes?
• Must possess an active TS/SCI clearance with Poly on day one of employment.
• Experience writing SQL queries for data validation using Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
• Expert-level experience with Selenium WebDriver.
• Strong Java development skills with an emphasis on writing automated test code rather than record-and-playback automation.
• Experience using integrated development environments (IDEs) such as IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or NetBeans.
• Experience working in Linux environments, including Bash scripting and use of vi.
• Expertise in developing test plans, test cases, procedures, scripts, and scenarios.
• Demonstrated experience with both manual and automated testing methodologies.
• Hands-on experience with testing tools such as Selenium and/or JMeter.
• Strong software development skills to support automation framework development and maintenance.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, continuously evolving environment.
