Business Focus:

  • Know Your Customer: Understand the client’s business processes and how the software being tested impacts the client’s business

  • Become a quality evangelist – Advocate right bugs to fix and reject the ones that would put client’s end customers at risk

  • Develop ability to map client’s business process to your testing methodology



Technology Focus:

  • Become a ‘future focused’ QA leader: Develop a good understanding of rising trends in the QA industry (DevOps, Agile QA & Digital) and apply these technologies to your client’s QA environment

You will receive training on client relationship management skills as well as technical training on software development and testing methodologies and project management.

 

Qualifications:

 

We are looking for self-motivated individuals with strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem solving skills with the passion and appetite to learn newer technologies. Within the QEA Practice, we provide a technical career path with the opportunity to be ‘hands-on’ and get involved in code and design.
