Test Analyst - Johannesburg, South Africa - Kerridge Commercial Systems
Description
"At KCS we've introduced a flexible hybrid work policy, where employees spend three days in the office and two days working from home. This approach promotes a balanced work environment that combines office collaboration with the comfort and convenience of remote work."
Typically working within a test team but sometimes required to take sole responsibility for all aspects of testing. The test Analyst will be required to work with development teams, project managers, end users and other groups to ensure that all criteria of testing are fulfilled.
The nature of this work generally demands a reasonable level of proficiency in the quality assurance aspects of software, as the role may involve gathering of requirements, generation of test cases and test plans, integration with software components and feedback to both the test organisation and the other teams. The ability to maintain rigorous compliance with project deliverables and industry standards is a prized asset.
