Additionally, you’ll have opportunities to contribute to test automation and continuously improve our testing processes.
Responsibilities
- Perform manual testing of native mobile apps (iOS/Android), web applications, and APIs, with a focus on uncovering issues beyond the “happy path.”
- Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, including edge case, boundary condition, and fuzz testing to identify potential vulnerabilities and performance issues.
- Conduct feature testing and regression testing as part of the product delivery and release process, ensuring full test coverage.
- Collaborate with development teams to actively challenge features, test for unintended user behaviors, and ensure robustness across all scenarios.
- Identify, document, and track defects, prioritizing high-impact issues for quick resolution.
- Validate the integration of APIs with mobile and web applications to ensure data integrity and functional accuracy.
- Contribute to test automation efforts, leveraging tools such as Appium, Selenium, and Postman for regression and API testing.
- Explore advanced testing methodologies, including performance testing, load testing, and exploratory testing techniques, to push applications to their limits.
- Ensure apps meet performance, usability, and cross-device/platform compatibility standards, with a focus on real-world scenarios.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in manual testing of mobile applications (iOS/Android), web applications, and APIs.
