Python Automated Testing Unit Testing

Job description

Your task will be to ensure the high quality of products by proactively and continuously looking for both failures and improvements. Thus, the work can roughly be summarised as:

  • Design, implementation, execution, reporting and interpretation of software and system tests
  • Development and optimisation of (test) processes
  • Focus on automated test solutions
  • Analysis and tracking of defects

The product areas may vary, from unit tests in product development to regression tests and front-end tests. While manual tests are necessary in certain areas and at the beginning, our main focus is on automating as many tests as possible.

Requirements

  • Development is fun, but a thorough review is just as important to you

  • You have already gained experience with different types of testing (unit, integration, system)
  • You can develop in Python, ideally you also have some experience with Linux and the use of CLI tools in a shell
  • You speak English well; German is not a must, but a bonus
  • Completed training as an IT specialist -or- successful university degree -or- comparable experience in software development

After reviewing your application, we may kindly ask you to provide work or degree certificates, so please have them ready
