In this role, the Junior QA Analyst will conduct quality assurance (QA) testing throughout a project's lifecycle, examining our products much like an end-user would and reporting any bugs to the development team. This role will need to analyze, report and document bugs and errors to development teams. Primary responsibilities will include carrying out manual tests to ensure the software meets requirements. The Junior QA Analyst will often assume the role of an end user to test the applications and features ensuring correct behavior, and will also need to analyze, report and document bugs and errors to development teams. Responsibilities include following QA Best Practices, having some understanding of Test Management Systems, reviewing project requirements to gain an understanding of new functionality requests, participating in project grooming sessions, and engaging in brainstorming activities with the project team. The Junior QA Analyst will also participate in QA script writing workshops, identify and create test case scenarios following QA best practices, execute test cases assigned by the QA Lead, and assist the project team with assignments and coordination of the project testing team. Reporting incidents (defects) and documenting them clearly for follow-up is crucial, as is reviewing incidents with junior team members to ensure adherence to best practices. The Junior QA Analyst will participate in daily standups as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) and report testing efforts and findings, ensuring to escalate any roadblocks preventing task completion in a timely manner. Additionally, providing a timely and accurate status report daily on the work completed and participating in deployment and post-deployment activities, including QA sign-offs and deployment planning with the lead/manager, are essential duties.
