A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced Software Quality Assurance Analyst to join L&Q at a very exciting time where we are beginning a journey to transform the way we manage information about our buildings not only to provide a better service to customers old and new, but also to demonstrate that we manage our buildings safely.

The Software Quality Assurance Analyst will help ensure that the solutions we adopt will support Building Information Management standards (ISO 19650) and other relevant construction data frameworks and standards and enable the information to be collected and managed across the whole lifecycle of the building (construction, in use, disposal), and for that information to be easily accessible and usable for compliance with forthcoming building safety and fire safety regulations.

We are looking for a forward thinking and innovative Software Quality Assurance Analyst; someone who is committed to delivering high quality software and also to help identify and verify 3rd party applications.

The Software Quality Assurance Analyst will report directly into the Head of Quality Assurance.

The Software Quality Assurance Analyst will be responsible for three primary aspects:

• Supporting the agile team in identifying and verifying the acceptance criteria for all user stories (functional and non-functional) to ensure the quality of the solution before it is released.

• Ensure that L&Q IT Test Standards are adhered to, and agreed test artefacts are developed and maintainable by L&Q

• To participate in all aspects of software testing cycle– creating, promoting and executing both automated and manual testing;

The Software Quality Assurance Analyst will be involved in:

• Create and maintain sample input test data and expected results or specific user acceptance for each story. Collaborating with the other team members and business stakeholders to identify smart acceptance criteria and to identify test scenarios
• Driving a culture of automated testing of systems to capture incidents before they have a business impact. Where required, coaching the team in test automation practices and technologies, scenario and risk-based testing techniques
• Driving the improvement in the quality of the solution before it is complete by getting involved in the development of each story throughout its lifecycle.
• Execute any required manual testing scripts and automated tests. Retain evidence of all manual testing.
• Identifying and overseeing the programme’s Solution Review Strategy for each application
• Managing and operating the testing environment including, builds and deployment and suitable test data.
• Monitor and report on unit test code coverage and test results
• Organise and lead reviews of the Test Incident Log: preparing any supporting evidence, help product owner prioritise fixes, updating backlog with any defects accepted to fix.
• Pair with developers as they are building code to identify and modify logic tests that will ensure the solution meets its “done” criteria
• Work with Software Engineers and DevOps Engineers to create automated test environment that is likely to cover: unit testing, data set-up, installation / deployment, test execution (of DB, Web, UI, webservice); validation of test results; and integrations with existing systems
• Work with Solution Analysts and business stakeholders to develop UAT scripts
