Project Background
The incumbent tool used by the client predicts the availability of assets depending on the parameters inputted. The team has undergone a discovery piece of work to assess the effectiveness of the tool and to design what a new tool could look like. We determined that the entire application will need to be rebuilt which will include rebuilding the application infrastructure, the simulation model and the UI. This phase of work will be to deliver the MVP and plan for the full product build.

Senior QA Technical Overview
The Senior QA will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive testing strategies to ensure the quality and reliability of our product. This will involve writing automated tests for both the frontend and backend, with a focus on utilising frameworks and tools such as Selenium and Page Object Models to drive efficient testing. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and implementing test automation frameworks, as well as creating test scripts to cover key functionality and user journeys.
Accountabilities will include defining test plans and approaches, collaborating with the development team to identify and resolve defects, and providing input on the overall testing strategy. As the initial sole QA resource, the Senior QA will need to be self-motivated and able to work independently, with the ability to lead and mentor junior QA team members in the future. Strong expertise in test automation, software testing methodologies, and testing frameworks such as Selenium is essential for this role. Experience with writing tests for both frontend (e.g. using tools like Cypress or Selenium) and backend APIs (e.g. using tools like Postman or RestAssured) is highly desirable.
