Hi, ** **
Please review below requirement and please forward me your consultant profile and contact details to *[email protected]***** ** ** *Job Title: Sr. QA Engineer (**Perl/Python/XML/SQL/Java)*** *Job Location: Cambridge, MA* *Duration: 6+ months* * * *Job Description:* Candidates will be responsible for Test planning, tools development, reporting, documentation, execution for a Virtual Assistant application from primarily the server side of the application. This QA role is expected to participate throughout the entire Software Development Lifecycle from requirements review through final acceptance testing. The Basic Requirements: The ability to develop Test Scripts, Test Cases, Test Plans and Test Strategy. The ability to report and communicate on Metrics and Documentation. The ability to handle Test Execution. The ability to scope a project time line. Experience with iterative or Agile methodologies *The Back End experience required:* In this role, the consultant will be responsible for testing from the backend of the application by exercising the application through a series of developed scripts in *Perl/Python/XML/SQL/Java*. They will also be responsible for creating additional test scripts, which create a tool for them to use in this testing. Must know *Java* in a *UNIX *(preferably LINUX) environment to be used for testing. Scripting knowledge in Perl and/or Python specifically for testing purposes is desired, but if they know *Java, the Perl *or *Python* can be learned. Ability to think through and document multiple (potential) test scenarios with their corresponding test cases/scripts where requirements are not formally documented. SQL skills above the typical select statements will be needed such as joins, stored procedures, triggers among other commands is a MUST have. They will be asked to articulate how they used those scripting languages to solve testing issues from their past in the interview process, that one question typically hangs most people in the interview process according to Steve, so please make sure they have this ability and can discuss it. This is why they list the following on their description: Must have an understanding of N-Tier architecture. This means not just Application Server to Database server, but the PHYSICAL infrastructure that’s makes up N-Tier architecture. API testing through direct HTTP calls. There is no front end UI to do validation on. Testing is all done through commands and validation of data sent and returned. * Communication Skills:* Communication skills are important in this role, but it isn’t as big an issue as it is in the functional testing roles where the voice is actually being used for testing. Accents are OK, as long as they have the ability to articulate properly and have had experience communicating across multiple IT disciplines, such as PM’s, BA’s, Development, Management both verbally and in writing, more like your typical request that communication skills are strong. Must be a team player *Nice to haves:* Experience testing mobile devices QA with development exp OR Java Developer with QA Testing exp JavaScript, Perl or Python scripting exp Strong UNIX (prefer Linux) environment exp SQL exp at high level (joins, stored procedures, triggers) Above Average – Excellent communications skills N-Tier Architecture knowledge (the PHYSICAL infrastructure that’s makes up N-Tier architecture.)
