Job Description

NOTES FROM THE MANAGER

Automation

• The team moved to Playwright
• Primary automation stack:
  • TypeScript
  • Playwright
• She provides tickets and standards for the team to follow, but needs someone who can take ownership and oversee the automation effort
• Looking for someone senior and technically strong who can help provide oversight, maintain standards, and review/guide the automation work

Why Automation Has Been Challenging

• Projects often begin without finalized functional specifications
• The team works directly with end users to understand requirements and begins building/testing from there
• Requirements frequently change or additional requirements surface later, forcing the team to go back and rework the application/testing
• Because of this, it does not make sense to heavily automate too early
• Once a project becomes stable, the team can begin building out more meaningful automation coverage

API Testing

• API testing has not historically been a major focus, but projects are becoming more complex and API testing is becoming more relevant
• Team has started using Postman
• ReadyAPI experience would be a nice-to-have
• Rajeswani needs to discuss with Neil how heavily the team plans to move into API/integration testing
