The role
As a Test Analyst, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring software quality by developing and executing test plans, scripts, and scenarios across various testing stages. You will be making sure new and updated system functionality works smoothly before it reaches users. You'll plan and run tests, develop test scripts, coordinate testing activities and help spot and fix defects early. You work closely with teams across the business to ensure changes are well understood, risks are reduced and systems are ready for release.
Day-to-day, you'll juggle competing priorities, keep on top of multiple systems, and manage testing across different environments. You'll analyse requirements, run end-to-end and integration tests, prepare clear reports, escalate issues where needed, and look for ways to improve tools, processes and overall software quality.
Navigating the complexities of multiple applications, balancing competing priorities, and managing testing schedules in a fast-paced enterprise environment will be key challenges. Your expertise in testing tools like JIRA and Azure DevOps, coupled with strong stakeholder management, will help streamline workflows and enhance the development lifecycle.
