Function

We're looking for a Test Automation Engineer to join our client's team and contribute to the quality and reliability of applications and test environments. This consulting opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to develop their expertise in test automation while working closely with testing professionals, IT teams, business stakeholders, and management in a structured and collaborative environment.

The Role

As a Test Automation Engineer, you will support the development, execution, and maintenance of automated testing activities. You'll help ensure that test assets remain reliable and reusable, while playing an active role in defect identification, reporting, and follow-up.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing, executing, and maintaining automated test scripts.
• Identifying, documenting, and following up on defects in a structured and timely way.
• Maintaining test assets to ensure reliability, consistency, and reusability.
• Distinguishing between genuine application defects and issues related to test script or environment maintenance.
• Supporting accurate test reporting and proactively following up on outstanding issues.
• Contributing to testing governance, coordination, and alignment across stakeholders.

You have hands-on experience with OpenText UFT and HP ALM, including creating and maintaining automated test scripts and optimizing existing object repositories. Knowledge of VBScript and experience with a hybrid test automation framework combining data-driven and keyword-driven approaches are important.

You also understand HP ALM cycles, test suites, and test execution planning, and have junior-level experience with Power BI, including report structures and data refresh processes. Experience with Azure DevOps or VSTS, particularly boards, epics, features, user stories, and test plans, is a plus.

The Ideal Candidate

You are an accurate, proactive, and analytical professional with 0 to 2 years of experience in software testing. You communicate clearly and professionally with technical and business stakeholders and enjoy working as part of a collaborative team. A bachelor's or master's degree is expected.
