ROLE SUMMARY

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.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • 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.
