Generation Z - Application Testing Trainee

What We Need From You
1. Test Planning & Scenario Design

• Design comprehensive test plans and test scenarios for every new build, feature release, bug fix, and app change on the Bede mobile application.
• Cover all critical user journeys including onboarding, identity verification, microfinance application, repayments, card management, remittances, wallet services, and any future product features.
• Develop test cases for functional, regression, smoke, exploratory, and edge‑case testing.
• Ensure test scenarios reflect real‑world usage patterns across different customer profiles, connection speeds, and device types.
• Maintain a structured and up‑to‑date test case library accessible to the team and the QA vendor.

• Execute manual testing across a range of iOS and Android devices, screen sizes, OS versions, and network conditions to ensure consistent app behaviour.
• Identify device‑specific or OS‑version‑specific defects and document them with full reproduction steps and device context.
• Maintain a device testing matrix and ensure coverage of the most commonly used devices in the Bede customer base.
• Test app behaviour on both stable Wi‑Fi and mobile data conditions, including low‑connectivity scenarios.

• Log, track, and manage all defects found during testing using the agreed defect management tool (e.g., JIRA) with clear severity classification, reproduction steps, screenshots, and expected vs actual results.
• Provide structured, detailed build feedback reports to the Digital Operations Project Manager and the development vendor before any release is approved to go live.
• Re‑test resolved defects to confirm fixes are complete and have not introduced new issues (regression testing).
• Give a clear go/no‑go recommendation for each build based on testing outcomes with supporting documentation.
• Track defect trends over time to identify recurring quality issues and feed these into improvement discussions with the vendor.

• Work closely with the external QA vendor on a day‑to‑day basis, aligning on test scope, priorities, timelines, and reporting standards.
• Review and validate the QA vendor's test plans, test scripts, and test results to ensure they are thorough, accurate, and aligned with Bede's business requirements.
• Flag gaps or inconsistencies in vendor testing coverage and work collaboratively to close them.
• Maintain clear records of all vendor testing activities and outcomes for internal reference and audit purposes.

• Conduct final pre‑release validation testing on the production‑ready build before every app release.
• Perform post‑deployment smoke testing immediately after a release goes live to confirm critical functions are working as expected.
• Support the team during UAT sessions with internal stakeholders and business users.
• Participate in sprint reviews and release sign‑off meetings to provide a testing perspective.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
• At least 2 years of experience in software testing, QA, or a related technical role. Fresh graduates with a strong IT background and demonstrated interest in mobile app testing are encouraged to apply.
• Foundational understanding of software testing concepts including test case design, defect lifecycle, and regression testing.
• Familiarity with mobile app testing on both iOS and Android platforms is a strong advantage.
• Exposure to or awareness of test automation concepts and tools (e.g., Appium, Selenium, Detox) is a plus and will be developed in the role.
