Software tester, automation tester - Recruitment IT

Testing is an important step in software development. Not only does it ensure that the software performs the tasks you want it to, you also know that it works as intended. You can, of course, carry out manual tests. But these are time-consuming and prone to errors. That's why automating tests is a great advantage.

Automation testers are responsible for designing and implementing tests that automate the validation of software functionality. They use a variety of tools and frameworks to create scripts that simulate user interactions with the application.

Tasks of Tester Quality Assurance

The job of a Quality Assurance Tester is located before the launch of a product. In addition to technical knowledge, you also have a very good eye for errors that may not be immediately obvious. You need to be curious and creative. You have to perform various tasks in your day-to-day work:

Creation of test plans
Carrying out tests
Error management
Regression tests
Performance tests
Security tests
Usability testing
Cooperation with other departments

You are familiar with UI flow and API integration in your day-to-day work. You are familiar with smoke tests and carry out regression tests. You use JIRA and bug tracking systems and Jenkins, CircleCI for continuous integration/continuous development are no foreign words to you. Scrum and Kanban are your language and you work in sprints. You are familiar with tools such as LoadRunner and JMEter and your routines include ensuring that applications are stable and provide a good end-user experience.

We provide experienced IT testers who are proficient in the following technologies:

Test automation frameworks (e.g. Selenium, Appium, Cypress, MS Test)
Programming languages (C#, Java, Python, JavaScript)
Continuous integration tools (Jenkins, Travis CI, etc.)
Test management tools (Jira, TestRail, etc.)
Version control systems (Git)
API test tools (Postman, SoapUI etc.)
Virtualization tools (Docker, Vagrant, etc.)
Performance test tools (JMeter, LoadRunner etc.)
Browser developer tools (Chrome DevTools, Firefox DevTools etc.)
Code quality tools (SonarQube, ESLint, etc.)
Dependency management tools (npm, Maven, etc.)
Cloud services for testing (AWS, Azure, etc.)
Monitoring tools (Splunk, ELK stack, etc.)

Advantages of automation tests:

There are several advantages to automation that ensure better quality management than when these tests are carried out manually. These include:

Better efficiency: Automatic tests are faster and more efficient
Better accuracy: Human error is excluded from the automatic tests, the results are more accurate
Better test coverage: Here, more scenarios can be run through and all parts of the software can be tested more thoroughly
Cost savings: Costs are reduced, especially for regression tests, because the time required is less than for manual testing
Faster time to market: Automated tests allow you to better correct problems and errors during development and thus establish your product on the market more quickly

Types of software tests:

There are different types that can be used for software tests. They are used for different areas and can be used in parallel.

End-to-end tests: They simulate the user experience of an entire piece of software product. These tests are used to repeat and record user actions and create user experience sequences.
Unit tests: This type of test covers individual code units. It confirms that the output for a function corresponds to the expected input. Unit tests are carried out in sensitive areas in particular. Unit tests can be automated cost-effectively and are then carried out quickly by a continuous integration server.
Integration tests: Integration tests check whether the code behaves as expected. These tests cost a little more because they also require several parts of an application to be functional.
Performance tests: Software development also involves testing how quickly a software project behaves. The metrics are tested and the team is then warned in the event of speed losses and regressions.
Acceptance testsThis checks whether a system meets the business requirements. The focus here is on replicated user behavior. System performance measurements can also be taken here and changes can be rejected if certain targets are not met.
Smoke tests: Basic functionalities of an application are tested here. The functionalities should be quick to execute and also show whether the most important features work as expected in the system. After deployment, it is then ensured that the application works correctly in the environment provided.
