As an OTT Manual Tester at Testronic, your main responsibilities will include executing both scripted and unscripted tests, performing functional and non-functional testing across various devices such as Smart TVs and set-top boxes, reporting bugs in Jira, and preparing test documentation. Additionally, you'll actively engage in improving our testing processes and will communicate directly with both the client’s Test and Development teams to ensure high-quality outputs.

To become an OTT Manual Tester at Testronic, you should have previous QA commercial experience, along with an understanding of web technologies.

At Testronic, OTT Manual Testers have various opportunities for career advancement. Based on performance, there is a pathway to transition from a casual contract to a permanent role. Additionally, the friendly and supportive team environment encourages learning and growth, allowing you to take on more significant projects and responsibilities over time.

When conducting manual testing on OTT platforms, it's vital to focus on user experience by ensuring that the application is responsive, navigable, and free of bugs. Pay attention to device compatibility and functionality across different environments. Demonstrating an understanding of how users interact with the platform will set you apart.

In my past roles, I've extensively used Jira to log and track bugs. It's important to clearly document steps to reproduce the issue, classify its severity, and add any relevant screenshots. This ensures effective communication with the development team and helps streamline the bug-fixing process.

Prioritizing testing tasks involves understanding project timelines, the impact of specific features on the user experience, and collaboration with team members. I usually assess risks related to functionality and prioritize test cases that possess higher criticality and are on the project deadline.

Testing across various device types can present challenges such as compatibility issues and varied performance metrics. I focus on documentations detailing specific device constraints, and often create a robust suite of test cases that cover various scenarios, enabling me to identify problems before they impact end users.

My approach to test documentation centers around clarity and comprehensiveness. I prefer to write detailed test cases that include expected outcomes, edge cases, and retesting notes for any fixes. This ensures anyone who reviews the documentation understands the testing scope and results.

Staying current with emerging technologies in the OTT landscape involves following industry news, participating in relevant webinars and forums, and networking with other professionals. I am proactive in seeking out new tools and methodologies that can enhance testing efficiency and improve quality.

I have considerable experience with both functional and non-functional testing. Functional testing focuses on validating the software functions as expected, while non-functional testing evaluates aspects like performance, usability, and reliability. It's crucial to apply both for a well-rounded testing process.

In such situations, I would review the bug report and ensure that all relevant details are captured. Open communication with the development team is key; I would ask for further clarification on their reasoning for the rejection and potentially retest to confirm my findings. Collaboration is vital for problem-solving.

I am familiar with various testing methodologies including agile testing, black-box testing, and exploratory testing. Each methodology has its merit, and I often choose a combination tailored to the project requirements and timelines.

I am particularly interested in working as an OTT Manual Tester at Testronic because of the company's reputation in the entertainment industry, coupled with the chance to work with innovative technologies. I’m excited to contribute to projects that impact a global audience while continuing to grow my skills in a supportive and dynamic environment.
