Join a specialized testing initiative focused on modernizing document generation and Customer Communication Management (CCM) systems within the banking sector. In this role, you will ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of complex document workflows across multiple output channels.

Analyze existing document logic and translate business rules into detailed test cases, particularly for complex conditional scenarios involving if-then-else logic, text modules, and data enrichment.
Design and implement automated legacy-versus-new system comparisons using XML data streams generated by output systems.
Validate document content, layouts, and output formats to ensure consistency between existing and new solutions.
Create and maintain use-case-based test data, including synthetic and anonymized datasets covering relevant business scenarios.
Support the identification and documentation of document triggers and develop testing mechanisms for scheduled documents that cannot be generated manually, such as payment reminders.
Perform integration, end-to-end, performance, and volume testing, supporting workloads of approximately 100 million pages annually.
Validate document outputs across physical printing and digital distribution channels, including output control, document bundling, and job processing.
Investigate defects, document findings, and conduct regression testing in close collaboration with development teams.
Support business stakeholders during User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and help ensure that business requirements are met.
