Role Purpose

The purpose of the role is to design, program, simulate and test the automation product or process to achieve the efficiency and effectiveness required.

 

Do

1. Instrumental in understanding the software requirements and design of the product
   1. Analyze and understand the current technology architecture, system interdependencies and application stacks
   2. Formulate project plans by working with project management and outlining steps required to develop project and submit project plans to project management for approval
   3. Understand current operating procedures by consulting with users/partners/clients and reviewing project objectives on regular basis
   4. Contribute to the automation roadmap design and testing process improvements by researching on automation architectures and developing new automation solutions
   5. Improve and maintain the automation framework to be used horizontally across our technology stacks as well as build out reusable libraries across our business line verticals

 

1. Design and execute software developing and reporting
   1. Ensure the environment is ready for the execution process designing, test plans, developing test cases/scenarios/usage cases and executing these cases
   2. Development of technical specifications and plans and resolution of complex technical design issues
   3. Participate and conduct design activities with the development team relating to testing of the automation processes for both functional and non-functional requirements
   4. Implement, track, and report key metrics to assure full coverage of functional and non-functional requirements through automation
   5. Eliminates errors by owning the testing and validations of codes
   6. Track problems, resolutions, and bug fixes throughout the project and create a comprehensive database of defects and successful mitigation techniques
   7. Provide resolutions to problems by taking the initiative to use all available resources for research
   8. Design and implement automated testing tools when possible, and update tools as needed to ensure efficiency and accuracy
   9. Develop and automate processes for software validation by setting up and designing test cases/scenarios/usage cases, and executing these cases
   10. Develop programs that run efficiently and adhere to WIPRO standards by using similar logic from existing applications, discussing “best practices” with team members, referencing text books and training manuals, documenting the code and by using accepted design patterns

 

1. Ensuring smooth flow of communication with customer & internal stakeholders
   1. Work with Agile delivery teams to understand product vision and product backlogs; develop robust, scalable, and high quality test automation tests for functional, regression and performance testing
   2. Assist in creating acceptance criteria for user stories and generate a test automation backlog
   3. Collaborate with Development team to create/improve continuous deployment practices by developing strategies, formalizing processes and providing tools
   4. Work closely with business Subject Matter Experts to understand requirements for automation, then designs, builds and deploys the application using automations tools
   5. Ensure long term maintainability of the system by documenting projects according to WIPRO guidelines
   6. Ensure quality of communication by being clear and effective with test personnel, users, developers, and clients to facilitate quick resolution of problems and accurate documentation of successes
   7. Provide assistance to testers and supports personnel as needed to determine system problems
   8. Ability to perform backend/database programming for key projects.
   9. Stay up-to-date on industry standards and incorporate them appropriately.
   10. Design and implement automated testing tools when possible, and update tools as needed to ensure efficiency and accuracy
