The key function automation QA Engineers perform is writing scripts and creating automation environments for repeated tests. Using different automation tools, they design, test, and deploy effective test automation solutions. Their goal is to automate as much of the testing effort as possible with a minimum set of code. This way they optimize the testing that otherwise would consume a large percentage of test resources.In order to fulfill this role, automation engineers implement the appropriate automation techniques to meet the short and long:Term goals of the testing organization with accuracy.Skill Set required:Stylemargin:Top:0; margin:Bottom:0:Technical Skills:Require programming skills to write computer code and scripts in common computer languages, such as Javascript,Python:Suggest /Make framework enhancements to accommodate the scripting needs:Analytical skills::Attention to detail::Communication skills:Need strong verbal communication skills to effectively collaborate with the engineering team and create testing plans and written reports showing errorsTools Knowledge:Stylemargin:Top:0; margin:Bottom:0:Automation testing tools:Selenium, node.Js:Mobile automation testing toolsfor Android, iOS, and cross:Platform ones:API testing tools that require strong coding skills to create tests:REST Assured,RestSharp,jMeter, etc.; :Continuous Integration tools:Jenkins, Bit bucket, Github:JIRA:Defect tracking and task creation tool:Confluence:Repository of ELC Documentation**Responsibilities**:Stylemargin:Top:0; margin:Bottom:0:Write, design, and execute automated tests by creating scripts that run testing functions automatically; :Maximize test coverage for the most critical features of the system; :Determine the priority for test scenarios and create execution plans to implement these scenarios; :Write documentation for automated processes including test plans, test procedures, and test cases; :Build test automation frameworks; :Log and document bugs in the tracking system; :Set up Continuous Integration.Besides writing automated tests, Test Automation Engineers can still do exploratory testing when they need to understand how functionality manifests itself to the customer.Qualifications and Certificationstylemargin:Top:0; margin:Bottom:0:2:3 years Automation experience is required::Work experience with offshore/nearshore/onshore model a big plus:Experience with Agile methodology is preferredKey MeasurementThe success of the role will be measured by the delivery of projects to time and quality and the efficient communication, management and support.Job CircumstancesBe willing to work extended hours as required by the role and be available to occasionally implement systems out of business hours
