• Integration Framework Ownership: Be 100% responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of the integration testing framework. This framework will serve as the primary tool for validating new features and system-level interactions.
• Bridging the Gap: Serve as the primary liaison between the development team and manual testers, translating manual test cases into automated scripts and providing technical guidance on test strategy.
• Architectural Guidance: Work closely with the development team to ensure new feature implementations are designed with strong testability as a core requirement. You will gate features based on the architectural design’s ability to support comprehensive integration testing.
• Feature Awareness: Maintain deep knowledge of upcoming features and new development work, allowing you to proactively design and prepare the necessary testing infrastructure.
• Test Implementation & Management: Manage the backlog of integration tests to be implemented and be a hands-on contributor, writing, running, and debugging test cases. You will also oversee the delivery of the testing framework for use by other team members, including manual testers.
