![QA Software Specialist]( "Software QA Job Opening")
Software Demolition and QA Specialist
* Update: We need another one! *
We are seeking a software quality assurance specialist to oversee and confirm the quality of software developed over its entire life cycle. The goal is provide consumers of our software with A Better Reality, that is, to make sure their life is improved in some way by the use of the software we create while meeting the client’s requirements and expectations in both performance and value.
Don’t Go Breakin’ My Code
During the software life cycle, our QA specialist will try to demolish or “break” the software by creating error conditions that a user might experience and catch these scenarios before the client does. The specialist must be empathetic, putting themselves in the place of the user, not satisfying requirements, but satisfying the user themselves. This can mean suggesting a better way of UI arrangement or even program flow.
Not Just Hats
The specialist will also need to be a multi-tasker. We work on many projects at once, so don’t think you can hide away, work for an hour and slack. We need someone that is willing to build a QA department and its supporting processes. We are seeking someone with an eye for detail that is committed to improving the usability, performance, and quality of every product Envoc produces and the lives of our clients.
Some of the responsibilities include:
- Participate in client requirements gathering meetings
- User Acceptance Test management
- User Story development
- Create, Manage, and Implement Test plans
- Sign-off on products before release to client or production environments
- Withhold a product from deployment when necessary
- Create and maintain project documentation for clients
- Diagnose software defects and recommend solutions
- Assist in building the Quality Assurance department by defining standards, processes, work plans, and expectations for new QA personnel
Be prepared to discuss the following:
- What the importance of QA is to delivering software (web and otherwise)
