What You'll Do

We’re looking for fast-learning talent who will help us grow their role and take advantage of the many growth opportunities that exist, helping us shape their own and the company’s future.

The IT tester’s responsibilities include being the quality guardian, ensuring that the delivery of IT services match the functional, performance and security requirements that our world-class clients demand. This includes the creation of test plans, reviewing of developer unit test plans and creation of automated scripts to aid volume testing and regression test.

As the role grows, we also want the IT tester to contribute to the company’s IT strategy, driving through policy and processes to help build the IT testing team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Creation of test plans to ensure delivered IT services are of sufficient quality, incorporating the following aspects:

  • Functional requirements (does it meet the required business function)

  • Performance requirements (is it fast enough and caters for the required volumes of transactions and concurrent users)

  • UI standards (does it break any of the HCI rules)

  • Security requirements (is data stored and transmitted securely? It is bullet-proof against attacks such as SQL injection?. Will it pass pen-test?)

  • Operational requirements (what monitoring is in place to ensure it is running successfully?)

  • Reporting requirements (what information should it pass through into the central reporting database?)

• Gatekeeper of developer submissions - review of developer unit test plans and rejection of submitted changes if test plans are missing, inadequate or contain insufficient proof of tests passing. Review of user documentation accompanying the changes – is it fit for purpose for the intended audience?

• Creation and maintenance of automated test scripts to run regression tests and assist in volume testing.

• Respect the value of information by following Likewize's data protection / information security policies and procedures

What You'll Bring

• Empathy for client needs – usability and performance requirements

• Strong knowledge of evidence-based testing disciplines – unit, smoke/system, volume, sanity/regression.

• Ideally some knowledge of security testing – penetration tests, automated code reviews.

• Knowledge of basic UI rules.

• Experience of testing automation software packages

• Pragmatism – knowing how to prioritise tests and when to allow code to proceed to production.

• Ability to write test plans to verify solution delivers to requirements in a robust manner.

• Ability to work to deadlines, escalate blockers and report on progress.

• Proven ability to work on multiple projects at a time while paying strict attention to detail.

• Ability to work with developers to constructively improve output. We are trying to improve quality, not start intra-team wars!

• Empathy for users when reviewing user-guides intended for internal and external audiences.

Desirable Skills

• Rigorous attention to detail and the ability to understand priorities.

• Must be self-motivated.

• Eager to learn new skills.

• Understanding of work prioritisation

• Fastidious devotion to quality

• Teamwork

• Self-motivated and able to thrive in a results-driven environment.
