Description
For our client in Eindhoven we are looking for a software test engineer.
Start: 1st of June
period: candidate need to commit for a minimum of 1 year
Introduction:
Within the client's structure the sector Development & Engineering is responsible for the specification and the design of the clients products. In this sector, the department Software Integration specifies, executes and controls the testing and integration of the various software systems into a software release. For rolling out new software changes, there is a software release project that manages, tests and integrates software components into a software release. The SoftwareTest Engineer reports to the project leader of this software integration project and to the group leader D&E- SW A&I Test.
Job mission:
Ensure a good efficient testing & qualification of new software, either released as new release version or in service packs.
Job description:
* Test Impact determination
In discussions with architects and developers, the impact of a release or service pack must be determined to be able to select existing testcases or create new testcases. The software test engineer will look at these deliverables from a customers point-of-view, and test from that system perspective
* Software qualification
Define and execute software qualification tests on the new proto type systems and on test benches. Every week a new development software baseline is released and must be tested on the test benches and the proto type systems. As much as possible should be tested on the test benches to relieve the claim on the very expensive proto type systems. Therefore part of the challenge is also to make these test benches as representative as possible.
* Creating system tests
Create system level test to qualify the system and the software and to test the reliability of the system and the different modules of the system. These system level tests are typically implemented in the form of Python scripts.
* Analysis
Do the first analysis of the problem to find the development project that is responsible for fixing the problem. After the problem has been dispatched you should assist the development project in defining and testing the solution and make sure that they deliver an adequate solution in time.
* Reporting
Clear reporting on issues found, both in an issue database, as well as in overviews and in a test analysis report.. Continuous improvement
New issues coming from the field or factory must be analyzed why they were not caught in our own tests, and preventive actions must be defined to make sure future testcases will capture these issues.
