In quality engineering, you will focus on implementing leading practice standards of quality in software development and testing processes. In this field, you will use your experience to identify and resolve defects, optimise performance, and enhance user experience.

Responsibilities

- Design and implement testing strategies for cloud-based infrastructure and DevOps environments, ensuring reliability, scalability, performance, and security of cloud applications, services, and deployments.
- Bridge the gap between development, testing, and operations by integrating quality assurance practices into CI/CD and automation processes.
- Design and implement automated testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
- Understand and analyze requirements, specifications, and acceptance criteria to design effective test scenarios.
- Analyze infrastructure and deployment specifications to create comprehensive test scenarios covering functional, performance, and security aspects.
- Design detailed and comprehensive test cases based on identified scenarios and validate cloud infrastructure components and DevOps toolchains.
- Execute functional test cases to validate functionalities; identify, document, and report defects in appropriate tracking tools.
- Perform regression, load, and performance testing to ensure changes to the applications do not adversely affect existing functionalities.
- Perform validation of monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure operational readiness and stability in cloud environments.
- Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks for infrastructure-as-code, container orchestration, and cloud-native applications.
- Build and enhance automation scripts and frameworks to increase test coverage and reduce manual intervention in testing cloud infrastructure.
- Integrate automated test suites seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and fast feedback loops throughout the deployment lifecycle.
- Maintain thorough documentation of test cases, test results, defect reports, and key testing metrics for continuous improvement and audits.
- Collaborate with test leads, development teams, business analysts,



and other stakeholders to resolve issues.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including cloud architects, developers, security analysts, and release managers to resolve quality issues.
