Key Responsibilities

Functional and Regression Testing

• Execute functional, integration and regression test cases against assigned products and record results with evidence.
• Write test cases from requirements and acceptance criteria. Tests must never be written from the application under test, because code-derived tests treat existing defects as correct behavior.
• Maintain the regression suite for an assigned product and flag coverage gaps.
• Support release testing and production verification.
• 
  

Test Data and Backend Validation

• Create and maintain test data, including records that trigger validation and error paths.
• Validate results in the database using SQL where the user interface does not show the full picture.
• Reconcile data between systems on conversion and integration work.
• 
  

Test Automation

• Run existing automated suites, triage failures and report whether the cause is the product or the test.
• Author and extend automated tests in the existing framework with support from a senior engineer.
• Grow toward owning automation for an assigned module.
• 
  

AI-Assisted Testing

• Use approved AI tools and team prompts to draft test cases and automation.
• Review every AI-generated artefact against the requirement before it is used. The requirement decides what is correct, not the generated output.
• 
  

Accessibility

• Run automated accessibility scans against WCAG 2.1 Level AA and record the findings.
• Carry out keyboard-only navigation checks, and screen reader checks after paired training.
• Capture the evidence needed to support conformance reporting.
• 
  

Defect Management

• Raise defects and document steps to reproduce; name the control, state what was expected, state what happened, and attach the evidence.
• Assign severity using the agreed definitions and retest fixes against a named build.
• 
  

Collaboration

• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement and defect triage.
• Raise questions on requirements early.
• 
  

Required Qualifications

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 1+ years of software testing experience, including internship or placement experience.
• Exposure to automated testing, whether professional, academic or self-taught.
