Working closely with software engineers, business analysts and operational stakeholders, you will identify risks early, challenge requirements, provide clear evidence of release readiness and help make quality a shared responsibility throughout the development lifecycle.Key Responsibilities
- Design, build and maintain automated end-to-end tests using Playwright and TypeScript or JavaScript for our React front ends and ASP.NET applications.
- Own and continually improve the manual and automated regression test suite, including clearly defined smoke, core, extended and full regression packs based on business risk.
- Translate user stories, requirements and acceptance criteria into reusable test scenarios covering positive, negative, boundary and exception paths.
- Use AI-assisted testing tools, including Playwright MCP and Playwright CLI, to explore applications, accelerate test-case design and automate repetitive test creation, while critically reviewing all generated scenarios and code.
- Plan and execute testing for scheduled releases, communicate quality and risk clearly, and provide evidence to support release and go/no-go decisions.
- Perform exploratory testing to uncover usability issues, unexpected behaviour, data problems and defects that scripted checks may miss.
- Test APIs and third-party integrations, including requests, responses, authentication, error handling and end-to-end data flow.
- Use SQL to validate data changes, investigate defects and confirm application behaviour against the underlying database.
- Create clear, reproducible defect reports with appropriate evidence, severity and business impact, then work with developers through investigation, retesting and closure.
- Integrate automated tests into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines and maintain useful, visible and actionable test reporting.
- Review escaped defects, recurring failures and root causes to identify gaps in coverage and improve requirements, development and release processes.
- Work closely with developers, business analysts and operational teams to understand real user journeys and build quality in from the start.

- Strong organisation and time management, with the ability to take ownership of testing across multiple changes and releases.
- A proactive, methodical and curious approach, with the confidence to challenge requirements constructively and investigate complex or intermittent issues.
