SDET - Contract

As an SDET at Netomi AI, your core responsibilities include developing and maintaining automation test scripts and frameworks for web and mobile applications. You'll execute automated tests, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with the QA team to convert manual test cases into automated ones. Additionally, you'll implement cross-browser and cross-platform testing and integrate automated tests with CI/CD pipelines to facilitate continuous testing.

To qualify for the SDET position at Netomi AI, candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, along with at least 5 years of hands-on experience in test automation using Java, Selenium, and Appium. Strong programming skills and experience in designing test automation frameworks are also essential.

Collaboration is key for an SDET at Netomi AI. You'll work closely with functional testers, developers, and other stakeholders to gather requirements and enhance your automation testing strategies. This teamwork ensures that all aspects of the application are thoroughly tested and validated.

SDETs at Netomi AI will utilize various tools for automation, including Selenium for web applications and Appium for mobile testing. Familiarity with CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitLab, along with bug tracking systems like JIRA, will also be crucial in your role.

As an SDET at Netomi AI, your role directly affects the quality of our AI-driven products. By automating testing processes and troubleshooting issues, you will help deliver reliable solutions to our clients and contribute to the overall success of the company in enhancing customer experiences.

Certainly! I have developed several automation frameworks using Selenium and Java to ensure robust testing of web applications. In my previous roles, I focused on creating reusable test scripts and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines, which streamlined our testing process and improved product quality.

For performance testing, I prefer using tools like JMeter or LoadRunner, as they provide comprehensive features for simulating various loads on the application. This helps in identifying performance bottlenecks and ensuring our applications can handle high-demand scenarios effectively.

When debugging a failing automated test script, I typically start by reviewing the test logs to identify the point of failure. I then check the application’s response and validate that the test cases accurately reflect the expected behavior. If necessary, I rewrite the script or adjust the test environment based on the findings.

Maintaining automated testing scripts is crucial for adapting to application changes. I regularly review test scripts for alignment with updated requirements, refactoring them for efficiency when necessary. I also ensure test data is current and manage test environments to reflect real-world scenarios.

To ensure cross-browser compatibility, I implement automated tests using Selenium Grid, which allows me to run tests across different browsers and environments. By utilizing combinations of tools like BrowserStack or Sauce Labs, I can cover a wide range of device and browser scenarios efficiently.

One challenging bug I faced involved an intermittent failure in an automation script due to timing issues. To resolve this, I implemented waits and revised the synchronization strategy in my test cases. This modification improved the stability of the tests and ensured consistent execution results.

I have extensive experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab. By setting up these integrations, I can ensure that tests are executed automatically on commit, which allows for rapid feedback and improvement cycles while enhancing product quality.

I prioritize test cases for automation based on their frequency of use, complexity, and impact on the application. Critical business functionalities and regression tests usually take precedence, as automating these tests can save time and ensure higher coverage of essential features.

I actively participate in online forums, webinars, and conferences focused on software testing and automation. Additionally, I follow industry leaders on platforms like LinkedIn and engage with community resources to absorb new techniques and tools that can enhance my skill set.

To manage test data efficiently, I employ data management tools that facilitate creating, resetting, and seeding data. Additionally, I advocate for using synthetic data for testing environments to maintain data privacy while ensuring comprehensive test coverage across various scenarios.
