ROLE OVERVIEW

We're seeking a skilled Software Tester to support the delivery of multiple projects introducing new applications, data transfer solutions, and migration activities from legacy platforms.

  • Carry out manual and automated test execution, capturing results, and highlighting issues or inconsistencies.
  • Log and track defects, providing clear reproduction steps, severity assessment, and prioritisation for resolution.
  • Collaborate closely with developers, business analysts, and project managers to resolve issues and improve overall product quality.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of test activities, results, and defect reports.
  • Conduct regression testing to ensure that changes or enhancements do not impact existing functionality.
  • Apply industry standards and frameworks (such as SFIA v9) to guide quality assurance practices.

MORE ABOUT YOU

  • Strong background in software testing, with proven experience across functional and non-functional testing practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyse requirements and translate them into effective test cases.
  • Hands-on experience with both manual and automated testing tools.
  • Excellent defect management and reporting skills, with the ability to clearly communicate technical issues.
  • Familiarity with regression testing methodologies and practices.
  • Strong collaboration skills, able to work effectively within cross-functional project teams.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, documentation skills, and a focus on delivering quality outcomes.
  • Knowledge of structured testing frameworks and industry standards (e.g., SFIA v9) will be highly regarded.
