QA Tester, The Office for Product Safety and Standards (The Office), part of BEIS, 10 Months, Central London, Outside IR35

Our public sector client has two services in Beta that both require a testing regime. One has end-to-end automated testing with functional tests written in cucumber and nightwatchjs and manual testing which need developing and iterating. The second will need an automated and manual testing regime to be developed and managed.

We have implemented an end-to-end automated test regime with functional tests written in cucumber and nightwatchjs. These assert the expected outcome of each journey including unhappy paths. We also have manual testing scripts that we run on each major release to ensure there are no regressions or adverse impacts to real users.

The other service has just entered the beta phase and has not yet established a mature testing regime as yet. This project is being led by the Digital and Technology team as well as subject matter experts.

Subject matter experts will be available to help the supplier understand the policies and business processes that underpin the service. As our client develops services we release live code on a regular basis. Our aim is to minimise the risk of code related service issues by applying a consistent and robust approach to Quality Assurance (QA) testing across all our services prior to live release using both automated and manual testing regimes.

We need a highly skilled QA Tester to work as part of our team and manage this across all our services. They will work closely with service teams to agree, develop and implement effective automated and manual testing strategies appropriate to the service.
