This includes developing and executing test scripts, identifying and managing defects, validating business scenarios, and supporting smooth service transitions.
In this varied role, you will ensure non-functional requirements such as security and performance, and, where possible, carry out automation and regression testing on internally developed tools and applications, in conjunction with the Application Development team.

-Strong, demonstratable understanding of automated testing tools such as Selenium
-Significant experience of QA testing within D365, F&O and Azure Logic Apps
-Knowledge of programming languages, SQL, KQL and scripting
-Strong experience of performance and security testing, functional, usability, regression, UI and testing
-Writing support documentation
-Substantial experience of working to deadlines and prioritising work loads
-Proven ability of senior stakeholder liaison and relationship building, in a collaborative working environment
