SDET (Automated UI/API Performance Validation Testing)- Locals

Job Summary

Client is looking for a Contractor who will conduct automated UI and API testing. Automated UI testing simulates user interactions with a software application's graphical interface to ensure it behaves as expected across different scenarios. Automated API testing validates the functionality, reliability, and performance of application programming interfaces by sending requests and verifying responses without relying on a user interface.

Objectives(s)

County to list objectives for the project engagement

1. Automated UI Functional Validation Testing for PTAS focusing on the user interaction of the application and validating the functionality and performance of the graphical user interface including testing different elements such as textboxes, checkboxes, buttons, images, etc. in following specific end-to-end user scenarios.
2. Automated API Functional Validation Testing, for PTAS which are typically headless, and focus on the business logic of the application, to verify the interactions of many small components and their ability to integrate without issue in following specific end-to-end user scenarios.

Work Description:

County to list and provide a detailed description of the project deliverables.

1. Automated Test Scripts

• Stored in Azure Repos or integrated into Azure Pipelines.
• These scripts are written using tools like Selenium (UI) or Postman/REST-assured (API), and executed via CI/CD pipelines.

2. Test Execution Reports

• Generated through Azure Test Plans or Pipeline test tasks
• Reports include pass/fail status, duration, error logs, and attachments like screenshots for UI tests.

3. Bug Reports

• Automatically or manually created from failed test cases.
• Linked to test cases and builds, with traceability to requirements and commits.

4. Test Data and Configuration Files

• Managed in Azure Repos or as pipeline variables/groups.
• Used to drive data-driven tests or configure environments for different test scenarios.
