Lead QA Automation Engineer
Main duties
* Review project information such as use cases, product requirements, and technical specifications to understand the system workflow and document an appropriate automation strategy.
* Determine specific automation scenarios using project knowledge and anticipated return on investment, documenting the detailed plan and schedule for all work required.
* Track deliverables of Test Automation Engineers against plan (using Microsoft Project) through observations, weekly meetings, reports.
* Analyze change controls to provide feed back to the project teams the impact to project and automation tools.
* Review manual test cases, executing where necessary, to understand the low level detail and decompose the tools/functions required to enable scripting/coding.
* Write functions/tools/scripts using an appropriate technology in line with standards and guidelines.
* Coordinate peer reviews of automation code and unit tests, owning resulting actions and the associated re-factoring.
* Work with colleagues in Development and QA to identify and solve design and implementation problems, and negotiate effective solutions.
* Based on own experience of operating systems, network structures, and virtual/physical environments proactively suggest appropriate test environments to be used for automation.
* Submit automated test tools/scripts to Test Leads for review and approval, link into Quality Center if required and ensure readiness for others to use.
* Explain return on investment and rationale for automation to other QA and Software Engineers, to develop their understanding and support for the process.
* Review Test Engineers work and provide feedback to increase their understanding and ability to contribute to automation.
* Working with the Test Leads to define, document, and then follow an appropriate Configuration Management Plan for the code the Test Automation Team produces.
