Test Consultant

Ready to take your career global? Make your mark at one of the biggest names in payments. We’re looking for a test consultant who performs and participates in application development and testing to apply continuous quality and testability of code throughout the software development lifecycle.

Builds quality within the software development process with automated testing suites, providing a comprehensive view from code quality to functionality. Uses quality paradigms to provide real‑time quality with automation and frequent regression testing. Designs, develops, and maintains automation frameworks and test suites with continuous integration, testing, deployment and delivery. Conducts performance, load, security and service virtualization testing.

• Participates in all steps of the software development life cycle and is accountable for helping to deliver quality code. Collaborates with peers to identify and recommend practices for quality assurance at the source using automation. Conducts impact analysis, evaluates and identifies impacts to regression test suites, testability of code, and application performance to reduce negative influences on continuous testing. Performs quality checks and updates automation scripts.
  
  Identifies and designs testing suites for test‑driven development (TDD) and behavior‑driven development (BDD) to allow early and frequent testing as the software is developed. Identifies process improvement and continuous quality measures across the development lifecycle.
• Writes and executes application tests at the source code level to prevent hidden errors (white box testing) within unit and component testing. Identifies and suggests improvements for code quality to improve deficiencies from functionality through structure of code for performance and maintainability. Builds, maintains and reviews mid‑level unit and component test suites and conducts automated white‑box tests. Identifies improper coding and code quality issues.
  
  Integrates white‑box test suites with continuous integration (CI) tools. Programs and creates mid‑level test cases using unit and component testing tools for code level testing.
• Develops moderately complex software tools, frameworks and utilities for validation/verification activities and end‑to‑end functional testing of software. Identifies and recommends tools and frameworks for testing and creates automated tools for generic use and maintainability. Writes moderately complex code that uses/exercises non‑user interface (UI) components like application program interfaces (APIs), representational state transfer APIs (RESTful APIs), and web services similar to the end user to develop frameworks for testing.
  
  Integrates automated suites with CI tools for frequent execution.
• Installs and uses moderately complex CI frameworks in continuous testing and continuous deployment/delivery. Builds, customizes, and deploys moderately complex test environments and test automation frameworks. Performs moderately complex scripting, data generation, and other methods to maintain automation infrastructure throughout development. Integrates CI tools with other testing infrastructure and develops moderately complex reporting/metrics on CI.
• Develops test scripts, test data, and analyzes/interprets performance, load and security testing. Conducts testing, analysis and interprets results using service virtualization testing tools that emulate the behavior of necessary dependent system components that are unavailable or difficult to access. Identifies virtualization testing opportunities with approaches and designs to test virtualized environments. Identifies performance testing opportunities with approaches and designs to test for application performance, load, security and service virtualization.
  
  Analyzes systems and database performance and responses during loads. Directs tests to avoid common application performance bottlenecks. Maintains and administers procedures, methodologies and/or application standards to include payment card industry and security related testing compliance using automation and built‑in security tests during development.
