QA Engineer
Posted Updated
Description
Required Skills and Experience
- Proven experience as a QA or Test Engineer, with strong manual testing skills (test design, execution, defect management and regression testing).
- Experience testing applications on HP NonStop (Tandem) systems.
- Experience testing software built with COBOL, SCOBOL, TAL, C, TACL and Enform, or the ability to read this code well enough to design effective tests. Developer-level coding is not required.
- Working knowledge of SQL/MP and SQLCI, and of SQL Server Management Studio.
- Experience testing MQ-based messaging flows.
- Familiarity with Zephyr Scale for test case management and reporting within Jira.
- Background in financial services, securities or payments applications.
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and running automated tests as part of a build.
- Working knowledge of the software testing life cycle and defect life cycle in an Agile or hybrid delivery model.
- Hands-on experience with test automation, including web UI automation (Playwright preferred; comparable tools such as Selenium or Cypress are a plus).
- Ability to write and run SQL queries to validate data.
- Experience testing APIs and web services (REST/WebApi) with tools such as Postman, and working with XML and JSON data.
- Experience with Jira for defect and work tracking.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with close attention to detail.
Technology Stack and Tools
The project uses the technologies below. Testers need to be comfortable working with them, not building in them.
| Area | Technologies | Expectation |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | HP NonStop | Test directly on the platform |
| Languages (application code) | COBOL, SCOBOL, TAL, C | Experience testing software built with these is valuable |
| Scripting and queries | TACL, Enform, SQLCI | Use to run and verify tests |
| Databases | SQL/MP, SQL Server (SQL Server Management Studio) | Query and validate data |
| Integration | MQ, XML/JSON, WebApi/REST | Test interfaces and payloads |
| Test automation | Playwright | Automate web functionality |
| Test and defect management | Jira, Zephyr Scale | Manage test cases, cycles and defects |
