Test Lead

Test Strategy and Planning

▪ Enhance the project testing strategy and plan to comprehensively include all aspects of business process transformation and technology modernization

▪ Continuously update the Test Plan to reflect  Program testing phases, timelines, milestones, and requirements

▪ Utilize Azure DevOps (ADO) to develop a method for tracking, monitoring, documenting, and reporting testing status and results.

Design a dashboard that clearly articulates testing status at any given point

▪  Particularly the testing director and leads, to pilot concepts on behalf of enterprise agencies impacted by Phase 1 core financials implementation

▪ Define test metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the testing effort

▪ Establish a risk-based testing approach that considers business criticality, integration complexity, change impact, and frequency of use

▪ Evaluate tech requirements, Program requirements, and user stories to determine appropriate test coverage based on risk assessments

▪ Identify and prioritize high-risk use cases with significant impact on critical business processes, financial data integrity, and system integration points

▪ Determine the necessary level of testing for each use case based on risk level, complexity, and business impact

▪ Allocate testing resources and efforts to ensure adequate coverage of highrisk and business-critical areas

▪ Plan and coordinate all testing activities, including resource allocation, scheduling, dependencies, and risk management

▪ Align the test strategy with the Program testing framework

▪ Sequence and coordinate testing activities across, and vendor teams

Communicate testing status, risks, and coverage information to support project readiness and decision-making discussions

▪ Develop documentation for the testing approach that reflects agreed priorities, assumptions, constraints, and alignment with program-level testing

▪ Continuously monitor and adjust test coverage and prioritization based on project progress, changes in requirements, and identified risks

Expectation: Risk-Based, Enterprise-Aligned Strategy

Test Case Development

▪ Define test coverage objectives for end-to-end, integration, and specific scenarios

▪ Develop test cases for Workday functionality, legacy system remediation, new and changed business processes, and new and changed integrations with Workday

▪ Develop test cases that support multiple test types, including functional, integration, end-to-end, performance, and user acceptance testing

▪ Develop supplemental test cases to address specific gaps not covered by provided scenarios

▪ Ensure test cases are comprehensive, accurate, and aligned with approved project requirements and business processes

▪ Develop and maintain a centralized test case repository using Azure DevOps to support traceability, reuse, and consistency

▪ Develop and maintain traceability between test cases, requirements, and identified risks.

Test Execution and Defect Management

▪ Plan and coordinate execution of all and applicable test cases across all testing phases

▪ Manage the execution of test cases and coordinate with agency subject matter experts (SMEs) to ensure participation, feedback, and validation of results

▪ Develop an approach for collecting, consolidating, and reporting test execution results across all testers

▪ Develop testing status, defect trend, and risk summaries to support escalation and readiness discussions

▪ Define defect severity, prioritization, and escalation approaches in alignment with WaTech and practices

▪ Manage the defect lifecycle, including defect reporting, assignment, tracking, retesting, and closure

▪ Plan and conduct regular defect review and triage activities with stakeholders to support timely resolution and visibility into testing risks

▪ Coordinate with development and technical teams to support timely investigation and resolution of defects.

Test Data and Environment Management

▪ Define test data and environment requirements necessary to support planned testing activities.

Plan for the availability, stability, and coordination of test environments and required system integrations

▪ Develop an approach for preparing, validating, and maintaining test data that supports priority business scenarios and integration workflows

▪ Ensure test data is representative of production data and covers agreed priority and high-risk scenarios

▪ Manage, where applicable, test environments to ensure they are available, stable, and configured appropriately for testing

▪ Coordinate with technical teams to set up and maintain test environments, including databases, servers, and network configurations

▪ Plan for identifying, tracking, and communicating test readiness dependencies, constraints, and risks that may impact testing activities

▪ Define data handling and protection approaches to ensure compliance with security and privacy standards

Test Automation

▪ Evaluate and recommend test automation tools and frameworks for the project

▪ Develop and maintain test automation scripts for regression testing and continuous integration testing

▪ Integrate test automation into the overall testing process to improve efficiency and coverage

▪ Ensure project performance and track progress with timeline and goals

▪ Plan, monitor, and track key metrics for progress and performance

▪ Identify root causes of Projects’ performance shortfalls and opportunities to improve

▪ Develop Project communication and status in the form of Word document, PowerPoint presentations, website content, and all other materials as required
