Software Tester - RFQ-ASD-54-2024 - SOW 1 - Original

Due to the nature of clients we work with here at Kinexus and the projects these roles will be based on, an Australian Government Top Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) clearance is essential.

These opportunities do not have the ability to obtain sponsorship for a security clearance (including applicants who currently hold a security clearance seeking to upgrade).

**ABOUT THIS ROLE**

The Software Tester will be responsible under general direction for creating and executing fit for purpose test plans and test cases, in accordance with the project's testing strategy. The Software Tester will ensure traceability to requirements, manage defects, provide regular progress reporting and work collaboratively with delivery staff to coordinate testing and regression activities.

The Specified Person will be expected to demonstrate attributes of SFIA Level of Responsibility 4.

**ABOUT THE COMPANY**

Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) is the federal agency responsible for foreign signals intelligence, cyber warfare and information security. ASD's purpose is to defend Australia from global threats and help advance our national interests.

Situated in Canberra, ASD employs over 2000 TSPV cleared workers. ASD's workforce is growing rapidly. Areas of growth include PMO, cyber security, systems administration and engineering, software development and network engineering.

A top-security, complex and highly technical environment, ASD plays a vital role in the defence of Australia. Long contracts (12 months+) available.

**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**
- Create and execute fit for purpose test plans and test cases, in accordance with the project's testing strategy.
- Document traceability between requirements and test cases.
- Produce test scripts, materials and regression test packs to test new and amended software or services.
- Automate testing activities where possible, including through the development of bespoke test harnesses.
- Specify requirements for environment, data, resources and tools to facilitate efficient and effective testing. Interpret, execute and document complex test scripts using agreed methods and standards.
- Record and analyse actions and results, maintain a defect register, and work closely with the delivery team to progress defect resolutions and regression testing.
- Provide reports on testing progress, anomalies, risks and issues.
- Report on system quality and collect metrics on test cases.
- Work collaboratively and constructively as part of an Agile delivery team to ensure the timely delivery of a quality ICT capability.
- Work with fellow team members to improve team business processes and share knowledge.

**SKILLS & EXPERIENCE NEEDED**
- Australian Citizenship and a TSPV security clearance is essential.
- Testing experience in an Agile software development environment.

**BENEFITS**
