• Strong understanding of trade finance products such as letters of credit, guarantees, and trade loans.
• Familiarity with test management tools (e.g., JIRA, TestRail).

• Analytical Skills:

  • Ability to analyze complex requirements and understand system behavior to create effective test cases.
  • Strong attention to detail to spot issues and inconsistencies in the software.

• Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency with testing tools such as Selenium, QTP, LoadRunner, or JMeter for automated and performance testing.
  • Familiarity with defect tracking systems like JIRA, Bugzilla, TestRail, or Quality Center.
  • Knowledge of database querying (e.g., SQL) to validate data integrity and test backend functionality.

• Understanding of Software Development Methodologies:

  • Experience working with Agile, Scrum, or Waterfall methodologies.
  • Knowledge of DevOps processes, Continuous Integration (CI), and Continuous Testing.

• Communication Skills:

  • Ability to clearly document test cases, defects, and test reports.
  • Strong verbal communication skills for collaboration with developers, project managers, and other stakeholders.

• Problem-Solving Skills:

  • Ability to troubleshoot and identify root causes of defects.
  • Analytical mindset to design effective test cases that cover a wide range of scenarios.

• Knowledge of Quality Standards:

  • Familiarity with software quality assurance (QA) standards, processes, and best practices.
  • Understanding of industry standards such as ISO 9001, CMMI, and ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board).

Desired candidate profile

• Requirement Analysis:

  • Review Specifications: Analyze project requirements, functional specifications, and user stories to understand the expected behavior of the system.
  • Test Plan Preparation: Develop a test plan that outlines the testing approach, resources, schedule, and scope of testing.

• Test Case Design:

  • Create Test Cases: Design detailed and comprehensive test cases based on requirements, use cases, and business scenarios. Test cases should cover both positive and negative scenarios.
  • Test Data Preparation: Ensure test data is created and available for testing, either by preparing data manually or using automated tools.
  • Test Case Optimization: Ensure that test cases are efficient and cover all possible conditions, including edge cases.

• Test Execution:

  • Manual Testing: Execute test cases manually, interacting with the software as an end-user to verify that the software works as expected. This includes functional testing, user interface testing, and exploratory testing.
  • Automated Testing: If applicable, execute automated tests using test automation tools such as Selenium, QTP, or others to improve test efficiency.
  • Regression Testing: Perform regression testing to ensure that new code changes or fixes do not negatively impact existing functionality.
  • Performance Testing: Evaluate how the software performs under stress or load conditions to ensure it meets performance benchmarks.

• Bug Identification and Reporting:

  • Defect Logging: Identify defects or issues during testing and log them into a defect tracking system (e.g., JIRA, Bugzilla, or Quality Center).
  • Bug Verification: Work with developers to verify and retest bugs after they have been fixed.
  • Collaboration: Collaborate with development teams to clarify issues, reproduce bugs, and validate fixes.
  • Root Cause Analysis: In some cases, perform or participate in root cause analysis to understand why defects occurred and contribute to preventing similar issues in the future.

• Test Environment Setup:

  • Test Environment Management: Set up and configure the testing environment, including databases, applications, and tools needed for testing.
  • System Configuration: Ensure the test environment matches the production or staging environment to accurately simulate end-user behavior.
