- Knowledge workflows (article lifecycle, visibility, governance)
- Partner with process owners to translate requirements into acceptance criteria and test cases that verify controls and outcomes.
- Integrate ATF execution into the bank s release pipeline and deployment process (e.g., scheduled test runs, pre/post-deployment validations).
- Support automated evidence collection for releases test execution results, defect logs, and traceability to user stories/changes.
- Establish gating criteria (pass/fail thresholds) for promoting changes across environments.
- Expand automation coverage based on risk and production defect trends (shift-left testing).
- Troubleshoot test failures and distinguish between:
- Genuine product defects
- Environmental issues
- Test script fragility/data issues
- Document defects with reproducible steps and collaborate with developers to resolve issues quickly.
Required Qualifications
- 3 7+ years of ServiceNow experience, with 1-2 yrs hands-on focus on ATF and platform testing/QA automation.
- Strong understanding of ITIL/ITSM processes, especially:
- Incident, Problem, Change Enablement
- Request Fulfillment / Service Catalog

- Strong analytical troubleshooting skills and ability to triage failures across complex workflows.
