QA Automation
QA automation engineers help us increase the efficiency of our quality testing by developing scripts that automate test cases for key product features. The responsibilities of this framework also include designing and implementing tests, debugging and defining corrective actions to ensure the highest product quality. They also review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics (e.g. defect densities and open defect counts).
Developing in this framework will mean closely monitoring the software development process to identify what are its automation possibilities to ultimately ensure our testing capacity works at its full potential.
