ResponsibilitiesFinding defects in softwareEnsuring overall quality standards and process improvement
Required SkillsTesting tools, scripting, attention to detailTesting methodologies, communication, documentation
Work EnvironmentTest labs, development teamsCross-functional teams, project management

Both roles are essential for delivering high-quality software but differ in scope and responsibilities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Software Tester, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Software Tester, you need a solid understanding of software development life cycles, test design, and bug tracking, often supported by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with testing tools like Selenium, JIRA, and knowledge of test automation frameworks or ISTQB certification is commonly required. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and strong communication skills help testers collaborate and report findings effectively. These skills ensure software quality, reduce defects, and facilitate smooth product releases.

What are some common challenges faced by software testers when working in agile development teams?

Software testers in agile teams often navigate rapid development cycles, requiring them to adapt quickly to changing requirements and tight deadlines. One key challenge is ensuring comprehensive test coverage despite limited time for test planning and execution. Additionally, testers must collaborate closely with developers and product owners to clarify acceptance criteria and prioritize testing efforts effectively. Strong communication and flexibility are essential to keep up with continuous integration and frequent releases.

What is software testing?

Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software program or application does what it is intended to do. The main objective is to identify bugs, errors, or missing requirements compared to the actual requirements. It can be performed manually or automated using various tools and frameworks. Software testing helps ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of software before it is released to users.

BIS Safety Software

Sherwood Park, AB

CA$65K - CA$80K/yr

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life

Posted 10 days ago

Job description

BIS Safety Software is a SaaS company on a mission to change how organizations manage safety, learning, and compliance - and the team behind that mission matters just as much as the product. We are expanding our team and are looking to add a thoughtful, detail-oriented Software Tester who is passionate about software quality and enjoys blending both manual and automated testing. 
 
About the role:

This role is a key part of our evolution from primarily manual testing toward a more automation-focused QA process. You'll play a hands-on role in ensuring the quality of our releases-owning manual testing for new features while actively contributing to our growing automation framework.

You'll work closely with developers and the QA team to understand product workflows, uncover edge cases, and help us continuously improve how we test. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into the details but is also excited to build toward a more scalable, automated future.

This is an onsite role based out of our Sherwood Park, Alberta office.

In this role, you'll be expected to:
  • Execute manual test cases for new features, releases, and regression cycles
  • Help drive the transition to automation by converting manual test cases into automated script
  • Create and maintain clear, structured test plans and test scenarios
  • Identify, document, and track defects with strong attention to detail
  • Collaborate closely with developers to reproduce, troubleshoot, and resolve issues
  • Write and maintain automated tests and update existing scripts as needed
  • Participate in improving QA processes, testing coverage, and documentation
  • Prepare and manage test data to support testing activities
  • Leverage tools and emerging technologies (including AI) to enhance QA workflows
You might be the right fit if you:
  • Are highly detail-oriented and naturally curious when exploring systems
  • Enjoy both manual testing and building toward automation
  • Think critically and can identify edge cases others might miss
  • Are proactive in clarifying requirements and understanding product workflows
  • Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical team members
  • Take ownership of your work and follow through to completion
  • Thrive in a collaborative, fast-changing environment
  • Are tech-savvy and enjoy learning new tools and frameworks
  • Approach problems thoughtfully and methodically
Qualifications:
  • 3+ years of experience in software testing
  • Strong foundation in manual testing (test case design, regression, exploratory testing)
  • Hands-on experience with test automation (Playwright preferred; Cypress/Selenium acceptable)
  • Experience with JavaScript or TypeScript for automation scripting
  • Familiarity with test case management tools (e.g., TestRail)
  • Experience with bug tracking systems (e.g., Jira, Redmine)
  • Comfortable using browser debugging tools and version control (Git)
  • Exposure to API testing and CI/CD testing workflows
  • Strong documentation and defect reporting skills
Bonus points if you have:
  • Experience working in a SaaS or software product environment
  • Experience helping teams transition from manual to automated testing
  • Exposure to modern QA practices like shift-left testing
  • Computer Science or related education (or equivalent experience)
Compensation and Benefits:
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Life insurance and disability insurance
  • Health spending account
  • Flexible working hours
  • On-the-job training and growth opportunities
  • Free on-site parking
$65,000 - $80,000 a year

Salary ranges are based on experience, reflecting the unique skillset each individual brings to the role.

About BIS:
 
BIS Safety Software has been headquartered in Sherwood Park, Alberta, since 2006. We build software that helps organizations manage safety training, learning, and compliance - and we're growing!
 
A few things that make us different: we don't use job titles internally - we value humility and contribution over hierarchy. We move fast, integrate new ideas quickly, and give people real ownership of their work. And through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), you have the opportunity to own a piece of the company you're helping build.
 
 
How to apply:
 
We love hearing from our candidates - please include a cover letter. Visit our Careers Page for more information.
 
We sincerely thank all applicants for their interest. Only those selected for interviews will be contacted.
