What can you expect in the Quality Assurance Analyst’s position?
Testing is very much a part of the Agile development process and our QA Analysts are involved from requirements through to deployment and go-live. As QA analyst you will work with our customers and business analysts to convert user stories into acceptance tests outlining specific scenarios. You will collaborate with our developers, using automated tests & exploratory testing to provide fast feedback and get each story to ‘done’. That means building from the latest code, managing your own test environment and database. Working with our Release Engineers, your automated tests will form a strong regression test suite that runs with our continuous integration and nightly build & deployment process.
As a member of one of our project teams, you will have the chance to work closely with customers and provide coaching and leadership to their QA Analysts.
To be a successful QA Analyst at Elastic Path we are looking for these qualities:
* Be a very hands-on tester who is comfortable across a whole range of exploratory, functional and automated testing including tools like Fit, Selenium, SoapUI, WATIR or any other automation tool
* Experience participating in full life cycle development from requirements gathering to final deployment & go-live
* Enjoy working closely with developers, analysts and clients in a highly collaborative environment. Able to build strong relationships with developers, analysts & business users
* Experience with relational databases (MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle)
* Exceptional communication skills
* Inquisitive, analytical, technical and fun to work with
It would be highly desirable if you also have:
* Experience creating test frameworks & strategy, choosing automated testing tools and creating testing standards
* Knowledge of testing within an Agile development environment
* Background in OO development with Java experience
* Track-record of innovation in testing
* Experience of working in an onsite, consultancy environment
* Computer science degree or equivalent
Working at Elastic Path can provide you with an opportunity to see great parts of the world while working on dynamic projects with our customers. Our QA Analysts travel approximately15%of the time based on business and customer requirements. But don't be scared, most of our QA Analysts haven't left beautiful Vancouver in the last 12 months!
