RQ07407 - Systems TestingQA Specialist -Intermediate

Responsibilities

Providesadvice on the testing strategy test plans the selection of testingtools and the identification of resources required for testing.

Plans and organizes testing efforts for large systems in GraphicalUser Interface (GUI) and nonGraphical User Interface (GUI)environments including the execution of systems integration testsspecialized tests and user acceptance testing (e.g. stresstests).

TheQuality Assurance Specialist is responsible for the development oftest plans test scripts and test cases and executing these againstthe various components.

The tester will work with the testing leadand IT lead of each project as well as the project team members inthe analysis design development implementation and ongoing supportof the requiredsystems.

Responsibilities / AssignmentDeliverables :

• Strongbackground in and at least 3 years of working in QA automationusing Selenium or similartool

• Coordinateand facilitate regular defect review meeting withstakeholders
• Providedefect status reports throughout the testingcycles
• Participatein regular project team meeting and provide status and update asrequired;
• Provideweekly report confirming status of assignedtasks

Theselected Testing / QA Specialist will be expected to ensure that theproposedTest

Strategy / Test plans include the following correctionprocedure.

• 1.Prioritize problems based on severity leveldefinitions.
• 2.Identify problems isolate them and document asdefect.
• 3.Regression test for resolveddefects

Theselected Testing / QA Specialist will be expected to ensure that theproposedTest.

Strategy / Test plans includes thefollowing :

• Functionaltesting :
• Componentlevel testing;
• Low level (test casesGUI check lists);
• Functional (testexisting functions subfunctions and theirobjects);
• Nonfunctional (boundaryconditions login and password windows securityissues);
• Dataand Database IntegrityTesting
• Thedatabases and the database processes should be tested as separatesystems within the test plan. These systems should be testedwithout the application (as the interface to thedata).
• SystemTesting
• Systemtesting should focus on any target requirements that can be traceddirectly to use cases (or business functions) and business rules.

The goals of these tests are to verify proper data acceptanceprocessing and retrieval and the appropriate implementation of thebusinessrules.

• LoadTesting
• Loadtesting measures subject the systemundertest to varying workloadsto evaluate the systems ability to continue to function properlyunder these different workloads.

The goal of load testing is todetermine and ensure that the system functions properly beyond theexpected maximum workload.

Additionally load testing evaluates theperformance characteristics (response times transaction rates andother time sensitiveissues).

• Security andAccess Control Testing
• Security andaccess control testing focus on two key areas ofsecurity :
• Application securityincluding access to the data or business functions and systemsecurity including logging into / remote access to theapplication
• Applicationsecurity which ensures that based upon the desired security usersare restricted to specific functions or are limited in the datathat is available to them.

For example everyone may be permitted toenter data and create new accounts but only managers can deletethem. If there is security at the data level testing ensures thatuser type one can see all customer information including financialdata however user type two only sees the demographic data for thesame ministry.

System security ensures that only those usersgranted access to the system are capable of accessing theapplication and only through the appropriategateways.

• ConfigurationTesting
• Configurationtesting verifies operation of the software on different softwareand hardware configurations. In most production environments theparticular hardware specifications for the Client workstationsnetwork connections and database servers vary.

Client workstationsmay have different software loaded (e.g. applications rivers etc.)and at any one time many different combinations may be active andusing differentresources.
