Ensure that defects are fixed and verified before releases. Performance & Load Testing: Conduct performance and load testing for critical API services using tools like JMeter, Gatling, or similar. Monitor system behavior under high load conditions to ensure stability and scalability. CI/CD & Deployment: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) to ensure continuous testing. Ensure tests are triggered and executed on each code commit or build. Documentation & Reporting: Document test results, log defects, and provide detailed status reports to stakeholders. Create detailed and clear documentation for all automated test suites. Skills & Qualifications: Required: Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Experience: Hands-on experience testing Java applications and Spring Boot services. Proven experience testing RESTful APIs (manual and automated). Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of Java and experience working with Spring Boot applications. Proficiency in testing RESTful services, understanding of HTTP methods, and JSON/XML. Experience with automation frameworks like Selenium, TestNG, JUnit, or similar. Familiarity with REST API testing tools (e.g., Postman, Rest-Assured). Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling). Knowledge of version control systems like Git. Understanding of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI). Soft Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. Attention to detail and ability to work independently or as part of a team. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Preferred: Compuer Science/Software Engineering University Degree with Minimum of 2.1 or preferably 1st Class Experience in Agile/Scrum environments. Familiarity with containerization tools (e.g., Docker) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure). Knowledge of microservices architecture and testing within distributed systems. Familiarity with performance monitoring and APM tools like New Relic or Datadog. Key Competencies: Automation Mindset: Ability to continuously improve testing coverage through automation. Collaboration: Work closely with development, product, and operations teams. Adaptability: Able to adjust to a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. Detail-Oriented: Precision in reporting defects and ensuring product quality.
