Quality Analyst
We are seeking
an experienced Quality Analyst to design and execute test collateral across
integration, API, backend, and GUI levels. This role is focused on manual
testing — applying strong test process knowledge and technique rather than
automation scripting — to ensure changes are verified thoroughly and risk is
managed effectively across complex, multi-system environments.
The successful
candidate will bring hands-on experience with API testing, integration testing,
and modern platform tooling, along with a solid understanding of working within
government organisations and their associated processes and governance
requirements.
• Design, develop, and execute
test cases, test scripts, and test collateral to verify changes at the
integration, API, backend, and GUI levels.
• Apply appropriate test
techniques and processes to ensure comprehensive coverage and risk-based test
prioritisation.
• Conduct API testing using
Postman, including request/response validation, data verification, and error
handling.
• Manage test cases, execution,
and defects using Tricentis qTest.
• Support integration testing
across multiple interconnected systems and platforms.
• Contribute to contract testing
activities where applicable, ensuring service interfaces meet agreed
specifications.
• Collaborate with development,
business analysis, and delivery teams to understand requirements and translate
them into effective test coverage.
• Identify, log, and track
defects through to resolution, ensuring clear and accurate documentation.
• Provide status reporting and
quality metrics to project and delivery stakeholders.
• Work within government
processes, standards, and governance frameworks to ensure compliance and audit
readiness.
• 3+ years' experience in integration testing.
• Working knowledge of
Tricentis qTest.
• Working knowledge of Postman for API testing.
• Strong understanding of API
testing techniques and approaches.
• Experience working within
government organisations.
• Experience with AWS,
including Lambda.
• Demonstrated ability to design
test collateral covering integration, API, backend, and GUI levels.
• Strong analytical and
problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills,
with the ability to work collaboratively across technical and non-technical
stakeholders.
Desirable Skills & Experience
• Experience with Tricentis
Tosca.
• Knowledge of contract testing
techniques.
• Experience with Kafka or other
streaming platforms.
• Familiarity with Kong (API
gateway) and Akamai.
• Available to commence within 4
