SDET

• Test automation analysis, design & implementation
• Review and analyse requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria to identify test conditions suitable for automation and define appropriate coverage.
• Design, implement and maintain automated functional and regression tests for web, API and other application layers in line with agreed standards and frameworks.
• Create and maintain reusable test components, data builders and utilities to support efficient automated testing.
• Estimate effort for automation tasks and provide input into release planning.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines so that suites run reliably on every build and before releases.
• Monitor automated test runs, investigate failures and distinguish between product defects, script issues and environmental problems.
• Ensure test results and logs are clear, traceable and accessible, allowing quick identification of root causes.
• Provide regular reporting on automation coverage, pass rates and key quality indicators for assigned areas.
• Log defects identified through automated tests in the defect tracking system, with clear steps to reproduce, expected vs actual results and supporting evidence.
• Re-test fixed issues using both automated and targeted manual tests where required and verify that corrections have not introduced regressions.
• Take quality ownership for selected features, modules or flows, ensuring adequate automated and manual coverage across releases.
• Proactively identify gaps in automation and propose additional tests or improvements to existing scripts.
• Work as an active member of the development team, participating in team meetings, planning sessions and reviews as required.
• Collaborate closely with developers to understand technical implementation details, agree on testability and support faster defect resolution.
• Partner with Manual QA colleagues to define the right split between automated and manual testing and to keep regression packs current.
• Escalate significant quality concerns or blockers to the QA Team Leader in a timely, structured way.
• Contribute to the design, extension and refactoring of test automation frameworks to improve reliability, readability and maintainability.
• Promote good engineering practices in test automation (clean code, version control, code review, naming conventions, proper assertions).
• Evaluate and recommend new tools or approaches (for UI, API, performance or other test types) where they can add value.
• Help document standards, guidelines and examples for automation within the QA team and wider engineering organisation.
• Follow data protection and information security guidelines when working with test data, environments and tools.
• Ensure automated tests and pipelines comply with internal quality standards and agreed procedures.
