Summary
The Test Engineer will be responsible for creating, executing & continuously enhancing automated test scripts within a highly robust, maintainable, and efficient testing framework.

You will be able to analyze the application and testing assets to create robust and effective automated tests for in-sprint functional, non-functional, regression and deployment testing.

The Test Engineer will primarily employ automated test strategies, but some manual testing will be required.

Responsibilities:

Test Planning: 

• Plan, design and enhance automation frameworks and tools using Selenium, Gherkin, RestAssured, SeeTest, Squish or other open-source tools
• Develop End to End, System/Integration, and User-focused test plans and strategies using product requirements and design documents
• Analyzing and disintegrating software systems and coordinating with other teams to enhance the overall test design
• Build and drive comprehensive test strategies (manual/automated) that covers all systems. Collaborate with Product and Engineering to develop a comprehensive Test Plan that validates product functionality

Test Execution and Reporting: 

• Setting up, maintaining and performing test automation on multiple application platforms, such as Mobile, Desktop, and Web, and building test scenarios and acceptance tests
• Build and execute test-cases in the following areas: functional, integration, security, stability, performance, stress. Develop and execute a variety of tests to ensure compliance & quality (integration tests, performance tests, end to end tests, security tests. etc.)
• Write, execute and refactor automated test cases with “Automation First” mindset. Build and maintain automated testing, test environments (Kubernetes) & test data
• Develop automation tests to deploy and maintain systems and applications in multiple CI pipelines
• Influence and refactor the development codebase for testability, performance, security, usability, and accessibility
• Interact with the product delivery team; actively participates in product requirement/design reviews to provide input on completeness of functional requirements, product designs, and schedules
• Maintain access to traceability artifacts for regulatory compliance

Contributions to the Engineering Practices:

• Participate in any and potentially all roles of the systems development life cycle. Roles may vary by project and assignment. This may include, but not limited to: Develop, plan and/or maintain software applications and/or subsystems; debug, design, code, test, write specifications, roll-out software, and production support
• Responsible for the development of less experienced AutoZoners; mentor and teach
• Determine order of work and develop the framework for a subsystem
• Delegate work to other Systems Engineers and Associate Systems Engineers
• Find scalable ways to automate functional, usability, compatibility, performance, API, database, security, and accessibility testing
• Contribute to the design of automation frameworks, automation infrastructure, and various tools.
• Provide and practice automation development efficiency, maintainability, and reusability
• Provide domain expertise to drive implementation and sustainment of an automation program that encompasses unit, integration, and end-to-end testing as appropriate. Prepare and maintain domain documentation

 Requirements:

• Typically requires four to seven years of experience based on consistently demonstrated capabilities.
• Exposure & experience is various Retail processes (Merchandising, Pricing, Product Management, POS, Inventory Management, Warehousing, etc.) is a plus
• Proven, hands-on experience in programming languages such as Java, React, Angular & Unix. Prior experience in C would be helpful
• Solid experience in Selenium and experience in test engineering in Restful API, Message Queues, RDBMS ecosystems, Unix systems
• Proven, hands-on experience using Java in creating automation test scripts/framework and deep technical knowledge of object-oriented concepts, and basic SQL knowledge
• Solid problem solving, domain technical and analytical skills
• Subject matter expertise in a functional area
• Advanced task estimation and planning skills
• Typically able to perform tasks with little or no technical supervision
