Position Title:- Manual Tester Primary Skills: TestRail, Quality Center, JIRA, Experience: 3.5 to 4 years ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS Test Strategy and Planning: Define and implement the overall testing strategy and test plan in alignment with the project requirements and business objectives. Identify testing requirements, scope, timelines, and resources required for manual testing efforts. Test Case Design and Review: Design comprehensive test cases based on requirements and functional specifications. Ensure test cases cover all edge cases, scenarios, and business-critical workflows. Conduct peer reviews of test cases and test plans to ensure quality and completeness. Test Execution and Monitoring: Oversee the execution of test cases, ensuring they are executed on schedule. Monitor the progress of manual testing activities, track milestones, and adjust plans as necessary to meet deadlines. Ensure thorough execution of tests, including functional, regression, system, and user acceptance tests (UAT). Defect Identification and Reporting: Identify, log, and track defects or issues found during testing using defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Bugzilla). Ensure defects are clearly described with relevant details (steps to reproduce, severity, environment) and prioritize defect resolution in collaboration with development teams. Collaboration with Development and QA Teams: Collaborate closely with development, business analysts, and other QA teams to understand project requirements and ensure alignment. Provide feedback to development teams regarding defect trends, test results, and improvements for future development cycles. Test Environment Setup and Configuration: Ensure the availability of necessary test environments, configurations, and test data for manual testing. Ensure proper setup of test environments, including database, network, and system configurations. Test Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed test documentation, including test cases, test results, and reports. Provide daily, weekly, or ad-hoc test progress reports, including defect metrics, test coverage, and test execution status, to stakeholders. Risk Identification and Mitigation: Identify risks in the testing process, including resource constraints, timelines, and test coverage, and work on mitigation strategies. Anticipate potential testing challenges and proactively address them to ensure smooth execution. Continuous Improvement: Drive improvements in the manual testing process by identifying areas for efficiency gains, such as optimizing test case execution or streamlining defect reporting. Regularly review test processes and methodologies, and propose enhancements for quality and productivity. Basic Duties Test Case Creation: Write, review, and maintain detailed test cases based on requirements and specifications. Test Execution: Manually execute test cases across different environments (e.g., web, mobile, desktop) and platforms. Defect Management: Identify, document, and track defects through resolution and verify fixes. Test Coverage Analysis: Ensure all critical application areas are covered by test cases and identify any gaps in test coverage. Test Reporting: Prepare and present detailed reports on test progress, test results, and quality metrics to stakeholders. UAT Coordination: Facilitate user acceptance testing, working with business users to validate that the system meets their needs. Compliance and Standards: Ensure that testing processes and deliverables adhere to project and organizational standards and guidelines. Team Coordination: Coordinate manual testing activities across multiple projects or releases, ensuring that resources are effectively utilized. Quality Assurance: Ensure that testing efforts contribute to delivering high-quality software with minimal defects. Client Communication: Work with clients or business stakeholders to understand business requirements and validate testing efforts align with their needs. REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE Test Case Design: Expertise in designing and managing detailed test cases based on functional specifications, requirements, and user stories. Bug Tracking & Management: Proficient with defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Bugzilla) to log, prioritize, and track defects through resolution. Test Tools Knowledge: Familiarity with manual testing tools (e.g., TestRail, Quality Center) for test case management and execution. Cross-Platform Testing: Ability to perform testing across various browsers, operating systems, and mobile platforms (iOS, Android). Test Environment Setup: Knowledge of configuring and maintaining test environments (servers, databases, OS configurations). Regression & Smoke Testing: Expertise in performing regression and smoke testing to ensure core functionality after updates. Basic API Testing: Understanding of manual API testing using tools like Postman or SoapUI to verify web services functionality.
