QA Test Lead with Java development exp Duration: 6+months
Location: Eagan, MN Immediately available only. Excellent communication skills. QA Lead with Java Application development experience and FIT/Fitnesse tool exp The other major factor is they must have perfect communication skills. Here are some thoughts I had about what I do that is NOT related to development tasks. Someone who can code at least SOME in Java.(has developed an application) ' Interact with leadership team to establish strategic project goals across the entire group. ' Participate in planning/tasking of Agile iterations helping to identify priorities based on established goals ' Coach testing engineers in establishing priorities and strategies to achieve defined project goals. ' Identify possible testing scenarios to facilitate efficiency and maximize product quality. ' Participate in testing tasks when necessary, scripting knowledge a plus. ' Provide technical knowledge to assist testing team with completion of tasks. o FIT/Fitnesse o General database concepts o SQL o Java Development exp is a must ' Work well in ambiguity - there are a lot of moving parts around here and anyone coming in new to the team is going to struggle with the vernacular. We'll be looking for someone in a dual role of test team lead and a Java developer to create tools, utilities and Fit fixtures. Of the two parts of the role, test leadership is the most important part. I'd prefer to have someone with fantastic test leadership skills and only average Java developer skills (if you need to pick between the two skill sets). Soft Skills: ~ Self-starter, takes ownership and dives in to understand the business and technology. ~ Ability to mentor non-technical testers or novice Java developers in technology, e.g. java, fit tests ~ Strong leadership skills to lead team of testers ~ Quick Learner ~ Strong analysis skills ~ Strong communication skills. ~ Enjoys working in a high communication, less documentation environment ~ Likes fast-paced work environment with lots of change Tasks will include, but not limited to: ~ leading a team to create and execute tests (positive and negative tests to verify the quality of the system) ~ leading a test team to understand and apply business rules for test coverage and analysis ~ communicate results and provide input into test decisions ~ suggest technical innovation (including creating some Java Fit fixtures, and test utilities) to improve test efficiency when appropriate Testing Experience: ~ non-GUI test experience. Most of the systems we're testing don't have a user interface. They need to be comfortable testing outside a UI. ~ database test experience, e.g., create and run SQL queries and analyze data results. ~ experience understanding complex systems and specifying tests needed to verify the quality of those systems ~ test automation experience. We want someone who understands how to create maintainable, repeatable automated tests, e.g., creating and using variables, functions, etc. ~ We're using Fit as our primary automation tool. If they have Fit experience, that would be great. ~ Agile experience would be a plus.
