Test architect (Automation)

TASKS: - Design a complete automation test strategy working closely with the Test Managers and Architects in understanding the technology, the application architecture and integration with third-part software. - Responsible for the overall automation strategy, tools and technologies selection for the product test automation - includes component/feature test automation. Proactively bring issues and problems to the attention of the team; generate and propose solutions. - Provide technical leadership and support in designing and implementing CI/CD. Create quality gates in the overall CI/CD strategy. - Design and execute a test automation strategy that ensure stability and optimization of resources. - Guide the QA Engineers in standardizing the QA practices and tools, looking at efficiency, effectiveness and performance. - Conducting trainings and ad-hoc support for QA Engineers. - Create automation framework and best practice for all QA practice. Evaluate new tools and implement them as they fit in the strategy. - Oversees the maintainability of the framework, code re-factoring and performance of test runs. - Run parallel test to reduce run time. - Analyse and verify best automated and manual test approaches and execute acceptance, integrationand system testing. - Record test results and report and verify software bug fixes to accept automation criteria. - Analyse performance test requirements and develop test plans and debug to understand test objective requirements. - Execute performance testing and present results for validating and analysis to Project Teams. - Proactively identifyadditional test automation opportunities and analyse potential benefits - Estimate testing effort accurately and coordinate with team members for work activities. - Involve in product design to guarantee adherence of test coverage for meeting end user requirements. - Coordinate with program and development management teams in product development lifecycle to conform end user product and quality requirements and shipment schedule. - Answer technical issues to resolve and follow up. - Prepare software defect tracking and report status of the testing activities to stakeholders.
