What are the responsibilities and job description for the Applications Tester position at Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.?
Applications Tester
The Challenge:
When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development - and that means rigorous testing. That's why we need you, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.
As a test engineer on our team, you'll work with developers to evaluate software developed for the DoD. You'll work on building a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automated and manual processes, you'll generate data and execute the test cases to see how the software performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool. You'll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor health of customized applications. This is an opportunity to leverage your skills by writing the code to test the code. You'll also further your experience in large scale systems developed for a cloud environment and explore new areas like automation. Work with us as we develop software solutions to support the DoD.
