The QA Test Engineer role fulfills the bulk of our organization’s daily Quality Assurance testing needs. This role is involved in a number of key responsibilities that include but are not limited to the following:

- Manual test execution
- Analysis of development work to perform tests centered around new features
- Analysis of customer issues to reproduce error and verify fixes for the field
- Creating & grooming of test cases and testing scenarios
- Building resources needed for QA work
- Provisioning resources for development and support work as needed
- Regularly reviewing UI and back-end function to verify product sensibility

A QA Test Engineer will generally have access to a wide range of technologies to be used in the overall manual test and test automation activities. QA engineers typically review issue management and test case systems for necessary work, perform deployments, build systems, configure storage platforms, and assess the quality/stability of software prior to release. Along the way, QA engineers are expected to explore the overall sensibility and performance of our software and escalate anything that might be confusing or complicated for our customers.

All QA engineers will be involved in manual testing efforts. Most QA engineers will be involved in provisioning resources for technical departments. Most QA engineers will be involved to review automated test results, analyze logs, and reproduce issues prior to escalation. Some QA engineers (depending on experience) will be involved in programming activities to improve, extend, and maintain our emerging QA automation systems.
