Our direct client in Mayfield Village, OH needs a Systems Test Engineer for a 6-month position (extensions are possible).

The ideal candidate will possess the following abilities and experience:
Work with architects, developers, business teams, and business analysts to design valid tests, make performance recommendations, create and execute load/performance tests, and validate test results. Actively participate in design reviews, code reviews, requirements and test review discussions. Responsible for Scripting, data analysis, and debugging of data to ensure performance testing is maintained. Interact with the project stakeholders to gather preliminary data necessary to build load tests such as workload assumptions (expected peak user volume metrics), desired response time criteria (SLA), transactional data setup, master data setup, and data preparation using SQLs. Deliver effective and efficient testing solutions by meeting key project milestones and overall project deliverables on time, and adhering to System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Project Management Life Cycle (PMLC) Methodologies. Use HP LoadRunner to schedule and run as many variations as needed of load tests of the target application, varying parameters such as the number of users, the speed of ramp up/ramp down of users, and simulated user think time and pacing. Conduct performance testing and monitor all performance metrics. Set up performance monitors and diagnose issues. Coordinate test windows and secure technical support for monitoring the infrastructure and to quality observations. Generate and review the performance test results with the technology team. Analyze performance metrics results and write final.go/no go* report. Interpret and summarize performance test metrics, including the ability to create and present result reports for various audiences. Evaluate overall system capacity during end-to-end load tests. Provide insight into performance bottlenecks leveraging a variety of skills and tool sets on multiple platforms. Use C/C# programming, correlation, parameterization, and simple protocol specific functions. Access Web Servers, Application Servers and Database Servers to set up performance tests and diagnose issues.
