Key Tasks and Responsibilities

• Understand the end-to-end configuration, technical dependencies, code paths, and overall behavioral characteristics of the services you test
  
  
• Create test data and seed databases, according to the test plan specifications
  
  
• Analyze and understand existing test coverage and test cases, identifying opportunities for redesign, replacement, reusability, and improvement in efficiency and performance
  
  
• Apply software optimization techniques to redesign and augment existing automated tests, reducing technical debt for software test
  
  
• Perform peer code reviews to improve the quality of the test code base and optimize its execution
  
  
• Debug and triage test failures, using full-stack engineering, to isolate test defects from functional defects, and identify the service component causing the issue
  
  
• Use Agile techniques to develop new capabilities and features for automated tests
  
  
• Provide technical expertise in prioritization of test case requirements for redesign, replacement, reusability, and improvement in efficiency and performance
  
  
• Work with service development and release engineering to refine the service-specific automated test usage in the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) flow
  
  
• Write clear and reproducible software defect incident reports
