Your Role

EAMS Group are looking for full time Product Testers to participate in the day to day testing of our software products.

You will be working closely with one or many Product Owners, Scrum Masters, QA and development teams, and you will be at the heartbeat of the product development. You will learn a deep functional knowledge of how each product functions, the business processes they support and the ongoing developments. During the course of a development release, you will work with the Product team to test the new and existing product functions. In doing so, you will ensure that our products are of the highest quality and usability, and maintain our client-focussed mantra.

You will do this by helping to structure, formalise and document the testing scenarios and scripts, as well as loading the appropriate test data. EAMS Group's automated testing framework software is in its early days of development, but is integral to our ongoing testing methodology. As such, you will build automated testing cases, with the opportunity to develop automated tests within the automation software.

You will execute manual testing at key points during the product release cycle with extenuous detail, using our documentation tools, to structure and present your test results to the development team.

We need to ensure we are manually testing with efficiency and minimal duplicated effort during our QA builds and rebuilds. As such, you will ideally have skills with data preparation and loading, such that new features in development can be pulled in for consistent testing and internal demonstrations.

Outside of the testing cycle, you will also work closely with the Client Support team members to escalate issues which are identified by our existing clients. You will be the bridge between the Client Support teams and the Product development teams. Mostly, you will be available to support the communication of any reported issues back to the product development team, whereby you will capture the highest level of detail, ensuring they are easily replicable and quickly rectified.

With the Product QA and other team members, you will be available to answer their product-related queries and issues, and feed into the appropriate triaging processes. This may include meeting attendances and our testing, improvement and question channels.

Most of all, you will show self-organisation. You will understand the nature of the release cycles, and coordinate with the Scrum Masters, Product QA and other team members to ensure testing and documentation are maintained and built in time, and to appropriate detail, such that the releases are available to benefit our clients as quickly and efficiently as possible.
