• Review requirements to identify quality risks, coverage gaps, and maintain traceability from requirements through testing and release evidence.
• Design, automate, execute, and maintain API tests for publishers, subscriptions, notifications, event retrieval, queues, and failure-recovery workflows.
• Validate FHIR Subscription, SubscriptionTopic, notification Bundles, filters, lifecycle transitions, and resource conformance.
• Test HL7 v2 interfaces and NextGen Connect channels, including message parsing, transformation, routing, and error handling.
• Test React single-page healthcare applications across browsers, focusing on functionality, integration, regression, accessibility, and security.
• Coordinate end-to-end testing across healthcare applications, Ontario digital health assets, eReferral workflows, and downstream systems.
• Manage test environments, data, connectivity, certificates, and dependencies with cross-team coordination.
• Lead defect triage, root cause analysis, retesting, reporting, risk escalation, and quality metrics tracking.
• Prepare test completion reports, support business acceptance, confirm operational readiness, and provide knowledge transfer.

Required Skills:

• Senior test leadership experience in complex healthcare integration or enterprise application programs.
• Expertise in test strategy, planning, estimation, risk-based coverage, traceability, defect management, and reporting.

• Hands-on experience testing FHIR, REST, HL7 v2, and NextGen Connect integrations.
• Experience testing React single-page applications and healthcare workflows involving Ontario digital health assets and eReferral systems.

Desired Skills:

• Experience with FHIR R4 or R4B resources, validation profiles, terminology, and conformance requirements.
• Familiarity with Ontario digital health services, EMR/HIS integration, and multi-organization testing.
• Knowledge of NextGen Connect administration, service virtualization, stubs, and test-data utilities.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with versioned assets and regression gates.
• Testing cloud-based event services, queues, observability, security, performance, resilience, and failure recovery.

Total: 100 Points Deliverables:

• Comprehensive test strategy and master test plan covering scope, estimates, test levels, risk priorities, environments, data, roles, dependencies, entry and exit criteria, reporting, and release evidence.
• Requirements traceability matrix and maintained suite of test scenarios, cases, data requirements, expected results, execution records, and coverage evidence.
• Automated publish-subscribe API test suites for publishers, subscriptions, notifications, callbacks, event retrieval, queues, downstream actions, negative scenarios, and failure recovery.
• Postman collections, NextGen API testing assets, ngrok endpoint configurations, environment variables, reusable scripts, and execution instructions.
• FHIR and REST test assets covering Subscription, SubscriptionTopic, notification Bundles, filters, lifecycle transitions, conformance, resource validation, search, event retrieval, authentication, and error handling.
• HL7 v2 and NextGen Connect test messages, channel validation, acknowledgements, error-path results, interface test records, and end-to-end integration evidence.
• React single-page application test suites for functional, integration, accessibility, browser compatibility, error handling, and regression with repeatable execution evidence.
• End-to-end test coverage and results for Ontario digital health assets, healthcare applications, eReferral workflows, Enterprise Pub/Sub, and downstream systems.
• Defect records, triage outcomes, retest and regression evidence, quality dashboards, coverage metrics, risk assessments, test status reports, and stakeholder communications.
• Test completion reports, release recommendations, business acceptance support, production validation evidence, operational readiness inputs, runbooks, and knowledge-transfer materials.
