The successful candidate will work with Appian developers, database and integration engineers, business analysts, and project stakeholders supporting federal application modernization. The position requires hands‑on Appian testing experience, the ability to maintain automated regression coverage, working knowledge of SQL and relational databases, and the judgment to investigate failures across application, data, automation, and environment layers.

• Validate Appian interfaces, records, process models, business rules, reports, integrations, plugins, and custom components.
• Translate requirements and acceptance criteria into detailed test cases and traceable test evidence.
• Create and manage test data across development, testing, staging, migration, and production-support environments.
• Document, prioritize, and track defects through resolution and retesting.
• Support formal testing, user acceptance testing, and release-readiness decisions.

• Design, develop, execute, and maintain automated regression and integration test suites for Appian applications.
• Analyze failed automated tests and distinguish application defects from test-script, data, pipeline, and environmental issues.
• Stabilize unreliable tests and improve the consistency and maintainability of automated execution.
• Integrate automated testing into Jenkins or comparable continuous integration and delivery pipelines.
• Maintain automation code through Git or Git Hub source-control workflows.
• Support containerized test execution using Docker or comparable technologies.
• Connect automated test results with Jira, Xray, or comparable test-management tools.

• Review source-to-target mappings, data-transformation requirements, interface specifications, and business rules with technical and functional team members.
• Develop and execute SQL queries that validate source and target data.
• Compare record counts, field values, relationships, statuses, dates, and calculated values before and after migration or integration processing.
• Validate data completeness, accuracy, uniqueness, referential integrity, and compliance with business rules.
• Support mock migrations, cutover activities, rollback testing, and post-migration validation.
• Verify that Appian reports, interfaces, records, and integrations function correctly with migrated and integrated data.

• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, release planning, quality reviews, and retrospectives.
• Provide clear status updates on test execution, automation health, migration results, defects, dependencies, and risks.
• Help define quality gates and exit criteria for application releases and migration events.
• Produce test summaries, reconciliation reports, defect metrics, and release-readiness documentation.

• Minimum two years of professional experience in software quality assurance, test automation, or test engineering.
• Hands‑on experience testing Appian applications or comparable low-code enterprise platforms.
• Experience executing functional, regression, integration, system, and end-to-end testing.
• Experience developing or maintaining automated testing frameworks.
