Project Description:
The Test Manager is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive test automation and performance strategy for one of the banking customer in Australia. This includes identifying and implementing the best tools and technologies, developing and maintaining frameworks, and leading a team of automation and performance engineers.
The Test Manager although based in a central team, must be able to work closely with developers, platform and product managers, and other stakeholders to understand the requirements and help develop test plans that effectively cover all aspects of the system under test working with the automation testers across various ARTs and Programmes in the bank.
Responsibilities:
• Develop a test automation strategy that aligns with the organization's overall testing objectives. This strategy should identify the types of tests to be automated, the tools and frameworks to be used, and the resources required.
• Identify and prioritize automation opportunities based on risk, cost, and business value. This involves working with stakeholders to understand their needs and to identify the areas where automation can provide the greatest benefit.
• Select and implement automation frameworks and tools that are appropriate for the organization's needs. This involves considering factors such as the types of tests to be automated, the skillset of the team, and the budget.
