Software Tester

Location: Uxbridge, Hillingdon
Salary: £55,000 pa, FTE
Contract: Full Time, 6-month fixed term Contract

The team at Quality Compliance Systems (QCS) seeks a Software Tester to assist with:

Breaking our software and enabling our Development team to fix it.

Working with our Product Owner, Product Designer, Scrum Master and Business Analyst on creating, refining and maturing acceptance criteria, test cases and test suites.

Building a Quality Assurance capability within QCS. Currently, our QA process is inconsistent and leads to an unacceptable number of escaped defects.

We would like someone who:

• Enjoys breaking things. Hopefully you’re the kind of person who thinks up a decision table to spot the logical dead ends and illegal conditions when you are standing in line at a coffee shop deciding what to order.
• Is a critical thinker. You should be habitually inquisitive because the more you know, the more value you can bring to the testing process. You should be the kind of person who asks, “what can go wrong here?”, “how exactly does this work?”, “why is this feature designed in this way and not another way?”
• Is well informed - you need to understand the big picture of the process of software development.
• Is trustful of reason. Software testing is an engineering discipline and all decisions a professional tester makes must be based on rational analysis, logic, facts, data and numbers. Not on wishful thinking.
• Makes the occasional mistake or misjudgement, provided that we learn from the experience. We know we aren’t perfect and that our route to success leads in trialling what works and what doesn’t. We always intend to give our colleagues the environment where they can trial the ideas needed to succeed.

The Software Tester is a crucial component of software delivery at Quality Compliance Systems (QCS), at their very root they are testers and problem solvers. Working closely with our internal team as well as our offshore development team they form the first line in encountering any bugs, vulnerabilities, security concerns or anything which may cause a poor user experience. Using great communication skills to succinctly report the defect back to relevant parties, the Software Tester will then return to their main duty; trying to break things.

They will have:

• Knowledge of full SDLC and Scrum as an Agile methodology.
• Strong software testing experience including manual and automation testing techniques.
• Understanding of C# code (ability to read and understand, the Software Tester is not required nor expected to produce code although it is highly advantageous).
• Understanding of SQL and ability to write basic database queries.
• Grasp of relational database concepts.
• Ability to analyse and understand requirements, identify testable conditions and write concise test cases.
• Concise, succinct and articulate.
• Good working knowledge of testing both Browser based applications and Mobile Apps.
• Experience of testing RESTful services either manually or by using tools such as Postman or an equivalent.
• Experience of Azure DevOps, Jira or an equivalent.
• Nice to have – Relevant ISTQB qualification(s) or equivalent.

The Software Tester is a Contracting role for the duration of 6 months based at our office in Uxbridge UB8.

At QCS we have a culture we are proud of. A set of values that are shared by everyone in the company. These values are what got us to where we are, from a £30k a year business, into a business that supports thousands of care providers across the UK. They are also the values that will help us achieve our long-term goal of helping 3 million people a day enjoy a better quality of life.

We believe everything we do should revolve around these core values:

Do the Right Thing - Make it Better - Play for the Team - Get it Done !

QCS is an Investors in People Silver Award winning company. Learn more about us, our values and the value we place in our Team - view our video work-with-us/
