Résumé du poste

En tant qu'analyste QA Senior, votre principale responsabilité sera de réaliser des tests sur nos produits de test de protocoles réseau.

Vos missions

Au sein d'une équipe Agile Scrum, vous contribuerez au développement de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour notre gamme de produits de test réseau. Votre rôle d'expert QA sera de :

mettre en œuvre les stratégies de test dès les premières étapes du processus de développement. Pour garantir leur mise en œuvre réussie, vous devrez notamment former les membres de votre équipe (développeurs, testeurs, Product Owners et Scrum Masters) à notre stratégie de test et à ses avantages pour le développement.

Vous expliquerez les principes, les concepts et le format de rédaction des scénarios de test.

Vous travaillerez avec l'équipe pour sélectionner les outils les plus adaptés à notre stack technique et aux préférences de l'équipe.

Vous contribuerez à définir le moment et la manière dont les scénarios sont rédigés, revus et exécutés tout au long du cycle de développement.

Vous encouragerez la collaboration entre développeurs, testeurs et Product Owners lors des réunions de préparation des tests (ou grooming sessions) où l'équipe définira collectivement les critères d'acceptation en tenant compte des aspects liés aux tests. Par exemple, si vous utilisez l'approche BDD, ajoutez le format « Étant donné-Quand-Alors » au modèle de récit utilisateur.

Travailler à l'automatisation de l'exécution des scénarios de test. Cette automatisation garantit une exécution cohérente des scénarios et leur utilisation comme tests de régression.

Intégrez l'exécution des scénarios de test à la définition de « Terminé » (DoD) de votre équipe pour les récits utilisateurs. Ainsi, aucun récit utilisateur n'est considéré comme terminé tant que tous les scénarios de test associés n'ont pas été exécutés et réussis.

Veillez à ce que l'équipe intègre les tests à notre pipeline d'intégration continue (CI).

Encouragez des sessions régulières de revue et de retour d'information sur les scénarios de test. Assurez-vous qu'ils reflètent fidèlement le comportement attendu de l'application et qu'ils sont mis à jour en fonction de l'évolution des exigences.

Concentrez-vous sur les indicateurs de qualité pour suivre nos progrès et mesurer nos améliorations.

Améliorez et adaptez continuellement nos processus en fonction des retours d'information et des enseignements tirés. Notre stratégie de test doit être axée sur l'amélioration continue et la collaboration.

Profil recherché :

Compétences techniques :

Maîtrise des principes, théories et concepts de l'assurance qualité. Compréhension des différents types de tests et de leur rôle (unitaires, d'intégration, fonctionnels, etc.).

Capacité à établir et à exécuter des stratégies de test efficaces. Capacité à concevoir et à réaliser des tests fonctionnels et des tests de cas limites.

Expérience pratique des tests et/ou de la surveillance d'équipements réseau.

Expérience indispensable des concepts et protocoles de réseau (Ethernet, TCP/IP).

Expérience des tests sur appareils mobiles.

La connaissance d'un outil d'automatisation est un atout.

Aptitudes requises :

Autonomie et débrouillardise.

Excellentes aptitudes à la communication et au travail d'équipe.

Apprentissage rapide.

Goût pour la résolution de problèmes complexes.

Exigences :

Expérience pertinente : 8 à 12 ans en assurance qualité dans un environnement de haute technologie.

Exigences linguistiques : Maîtrise du français et de l'anglais (oral et écrit).

Formation : Baccalauréat en informatique, en génie logiciel ou en génie électrique.
