QA Engineer

Role description

Key Responsibilities:

• Test Planning and Strategy:

o Develop comprehensive test plans and strategies for all project components: Python FastAPI service, MySQL database, telemetry data ingestion, and Angular web app.

o Define and document test cases based on functional requirements, technical specifications, and user stories.

• Manual and Automated Testing:

o Perform manual testing to validate data flow, edge cases, and integration points across the stack.

o Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Python (pytest, unittest) and other relevant tools for regression testing, functional testing, and performance validation.

o Focus on end-to-end testing, ensuring the proper flow of telemetry data from Android tablets through FastAPI to the MySQL database and ultimately to the Angular frontend.

• Data Integrity and Parity:

o Ensure data parity between the old and new system implementations.

o Compare, validate, and verify telemetry data being ingested from Android devices to the new system to ensure it matches the legacy system's behavior.

o Perform data integrity checks, including testing data insertion, retrieval, transformation, and visualization.

• Integration Testing:

o Develop integration tests to ensure the successful interaction between the FastAPI backend, MySQL database, Android tablet ingestion process, and Angular frontend.

o Test API endpoints to ensure they meet functional and performance requirements using tools like Postman or automated scripts.

• Bug Identification and Reporting:

o Identify, document, and track defects using a bug-tracking system (e.g., Jira, GitHub Issues).

o Collaborate closely with developers to resolve issues, ensuring root causes are identified and fixes are verified.

• Collaboration and Communication:

o Work closely with developers, product managers, and stakeholders to understand requirements, clarify implementation details, and provide testing feedback.

o Provide regular status updates on testing progress, risk assessments, and outstanding issues.

• Documentation:

o Maintain thorough and accurate documentation of test plans, test cases, test scripts, and test results.

o Contribute to knowledge sharing and documentation best practices for the QA team.

Requirements:

• Experience:

o 3+ years of experience in QA Engineering, particularly in testing backend services, databases, and full-stack applications.

o Proven experience in testing Python-based applications, preferably FastAPI or similar frameworks.

o Hands-on experience with MySQL or other relational databases, including data validation, SQL queries, and database troubleshooting.

o Prior experience with API testing using tools like Postman, Insomnia, or automated tests with Python.

o Familiarity with Angular web applications and testing frontend components is a plus.

• Technical Skills:

o Proficient in Python (particularly for writing test scripts and automation frameworks).

o Familiarity with FastAPI for backend API testing.

o Strong understanding of SQL and database validation.

o Experience with API testing frameworks (e.g., pytest, requests, Postman).

o Familiarity with version control systems like Git.

o Experience with performance and load testing tools like JMeter, Locust, or Gatling.

o Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and integration with test automation frameworks.

• Soft Skills:

o Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

o Excellent communication skills with the ability to report issues clearly and concisely.

o Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.

o Detail-oriented and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.

• Desirable Skills:

o Experience with telemetry data ingestion or real-time data processing.

o Exposure to mobile app testing, particularly with Android tablets or mobile telemetry applications.

o Familiarity with cloud services like AWS or Azure for hosting APIs and databases.

o Experience with Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum or Kanban).

Nice-to-Have:

• Familiarity with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

• Experience in data migration testing and ensuring parity between systems during the migration process.

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or other containerization and orchestration tools.

• Experience with frontend testing tools such as Jasmine, Karma, or Protractor for Angular apps.
