About the position

Innova Solutions is seeking an Automated Test Engineer to join our team in Holyoke, Massachusetts. This position is a full-time role that involves creating, executing, and analyzing automated test cases to ensure the quality and functionality of software applications. The Automated Test Engineer will be responsible for defining the sequence of actions to verify system functionality, which includes developing test cases that outline test steps, preconditions, expected results, and actual results. The role requires converting these test cases into automated scripts that can be executed by the testing framework, ensuring that the automated tests are integrated with our build pipelines, and generating reports that can be utilized by business users as part of the acceptance criteria. The Automated Test Engineer will also analyze the results of test executions to identify any failures or defects, review business test criteria and test cases with Business Analysts, and ensure that each requirement has objective pass/fail criteria and is testable as written. Aligning tests with business goals is crucial, as the engineer will need to ensure that the automated tests support the overall business and project objectives. Participation in requirements reviews is also expected, engaging with stakeholders to ensure a shared understanding of project goals. The ideal candidate will possess deep knowledge of automated testing frameworks, performance testing, and resilience testing, with a minimum of 5 years of experience in software testing, including at least 3 years focused on automated testing frameworks for consumer-facing applications and APIs. Proficiency in generating automated test cases and scripts using tools such as Selenium, Cypress, and Cucumber is essential, along with experience in Junit, Postman, TestNG, Git, and JIRA. Familiarity with CI/CD tools and frameworks, as well as programming experience in SQL and Python, is also required. Strong collaboration and communication skills are necessary to work effectively with cross-functional teams and present findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
