Test Automation Analyst

A Test Automation Analyst must analyze product requirements & understand UI automation tools to design test data, scenario details, & robust assets of those product requirements in-line with the nature of the tools at hand to implement these in a test runtime efficient way where automated tests complete with no human intervention. The person in this role will assure product quality by doing the above, completing failure analysis, logging bugs for product team review, & publishing test run result reports in a timely fashion.

It is expected that Development team members are available to work hybrid. Subject to change, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday are mandatory in-office days where team members are expected to work on-site from our Mississauga head office to support enhanced collaboration. Mondays & Fridays are optional work-from-home days for designated focus work. We have invested in best-in-class tools, technology, & culture to ensure our team members can do their best work.

**What You Will Do at Prophix**

User Story creation & refinement:

- Feed your team ample implementation-ready User Story work items in Azure DevOps by reviewing & updating those provided by Scrum Analysts, as well as authoring your new work items.
- Ensure the test data per User Story is correctly set up in your team's golden data set.
- Provide guidance & reinforce standards in helping others with their UI test automation efforts.
- Facilitate your team's User Story enquiries by liaising with members of product teams to ensure scenario assertions match desired product behaviour.
- Verify that implemented BDD stories meet the requirements of your team's User Story work items.

Backlog management:

- Monitor & organize your team's backlog daily, ensuring all information in User Story work items is accurate, complete, & up to date.
- Meet with your manager regularly in line with your team's velocity & unique product area groupings to ensure prioritized groupings are responsively re-ordered in line with evolving company needs.

BDD story development work:

- Implement new BDD stories in-line with your team's User Story requirements.
- Address any BDD story issues.

Test environment maintenance:

- Work with DevOps to ensure your team's YAML pipelines, AWS EC2 instances, & data sets are working & backed up as needed.
- Be proactive in ensuring the correct product & UI test automation code is on your team's environments for related golden data creation & updates, and test execution.

Test execution & results analysis:

- Run appropriate tests on demand, using tags to manage which scenarios execute.
- Upload test run reports to our central repository following your team's report naming conventions.
- Analyze test results to understand the root causes of any scenarios not resulting in a pass.
- Take appropriate action where all non-pass scenarios are updated to pass or have a product Bug work item logged for each unique failure.
- Ensure product Bug work item IDs are cited in UI test execution reports per related scenario & product Bug work items logged in Azure DevOps cite their related scenarios.

Bug management:

- Log Bug work items in Azure DevOps with an FCThit tag as they are encountered during your team's User Story design, implementation, & testing.
- Monitor FCThit tagged Bug work items to ensure associated scenarios for those resolved or closed work items are updated to reflect expected product functionality or check that those scenarios are now a pass & remove the reference to those Bug work items from their scenarios' BDD storey titles, so they don't appear in their subsequent pass result report.
