- Design and execute functional, regression, integration, smoke, and UAT test suites.
- Perform both manual and automated testing activities across multiple applications and environments.
- Record test outcomes with detailed evidence, expected vs actual results, and defect documentation.
- Manage test data setup and environment configurations for each testing cycle.
- Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, execution results, and sign-off activities.
- Support testing across DEV, TEST, UAT, TRN, and PROD environments.
Test Automation
- Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks using tools such as Cypress, Selenium, and BDD frameworks.
- Expand and optimise automated regression test coverage across enterprise applications and platforms.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using TeamCity, GitHub Actions, or equivalent tooling.
- Maintain BrowserStack configurations for cross-browser and cross-device testing.
- Leverage AI-assisted testing approaches to improve quality outcomes and reduce manual effort.
Non-Functional & Security Testing
- Design and execute performance and scalability tests using tools such as JMeter or NeoLoad.
- Conduct API testing using Postman, Karate, and REST/JSON/XML tooling.
- Support security-focused testing activities aligned to customer security and compliance standards.
- Validate identity and authentication workflows including SSO, MFA, SCIM provisioning, and access management controls.
- Support penetration testing activities and remediation validation where required.
Identity & Integration Testing
- Test Identity Platform integrations including Okta SSO applications, Adaptive MFA policies, SCIM adaptors, and provisioning flows.
- Validate integrations across AWS services, APIs, and enterprise platforms.
- Test RBAC and ABAC access control models across integrated applications.
- Support SIT, UAT, SVT, and production validation activities for releases and platform changes.
- Participate in after-hours production verification testing where required.
Defect Management & Reporting
- Log, triage, prioritise, and manage defects using Jira.
- Collaborate closely with developers and engineers to investigate issues and validate fixes.
- Contribute to sprint reporting, defect dashboards, and quality metrics.
- Execute regression testing following deployments and escalate risks or failures appropriately.
Continuous Improvement
- Maintain version control for test scripts, datasets, and testing artefacts using GitHub.
- Contribute to improvements in testing standards, frameworks, tooling, and delivery practices.
- Participate in sprint ceremonies including planning, retrospectives, backlog refinement, and showcases.
- Support knowledge sharing, mentoring, and collaborative engineering practices across teams.
