The Opportunity:
When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experienceare key to successful software development, and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need a knowledgeable test engineer like you who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.
As a test engineer on our team, you’ll work with software engineers to evaluate software developed for a national defense-relatedagency. You’ll work on creating a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automated tools and manual processes, you’ll generate data and implement test cases to observe how the software performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool. You’ll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor the health of the application tool set. This is an opportunity to leverage your skills by writing the code to test. You’ll also further your experiencein and explore new areas like cloud deployments and tool generation.
