Description

The planning, design, management, execution and reporting of tests, using appropriate testing tools and techniques and conforming to agreed process standards and industry specific regulations. The purpose of testing is to ensure that new and amended systems, configurations, packages, or services, together with any interfaces, perform as specified (including security requirements) , and that the risks associated with deployment are adequately understood and documented. Testing includes the process of engineering, using and maintaining testware (test cases, test scripts, test reports, test plans, etc) to measure and improve the quality of the software being tested.

Level 1

• Executes given test scripts under supervision.
• Records results and reports issues.
• Develops an understanding of the role of testing within system development, as a tool for design improvement as well as a validation process.

Level 2

• Defines test conditions for given requirements.
• Designs test cases and creates test scripts and supporting data, working to the specifications provided. Interprets, executes and records test cases in accordance with project test plans.
• Analyses and reports test activities and results. Identifies and reports issues and risks.
