Responsibilities This position plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and security of FSA's modernized IAM platform.

Required Qualifications • Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites using industry-standard test automation frameworks and tools, with preference for automated over manual testing approaches. • Execute unit testing, regression testing, and integration testing to validate that code changes meet acceptance criteria and do not introduce defects. • Perform code reviews with development team members to ensure test quality and adherence to testing best practices. • Validate that all non-functional requirements are met, including performance, security, scalability, and compliance standards. • Ensure acceptance criteria are satisfied for all user stories and features prior to deployment. • Support functional and security testing of FSA Applications and Services integrated with the IAM platform. • Develop and execute test plans for feature deployments across development, test, Enterprise Performance Test (EPT), and production environments. • Collaborate with FSA Product Owners to understand testing requirements and provide feedback on testability of user stories and requirements.

• Participate in sprint planning and backlog refinement to identify testing needs and estimate testing effort. • Validate that all automated and manual testing suites pass before features are packaged for release or deployment to higher environments. • Ensure all security and compliance requirements are met through security testing and validation. • Document test results, defects, and test coverage metrics; provide reporting to FSA and development teams. • Support progressive migration of existing applications into the integrated IAM platform by testing authentication, authorization, and audit capabilities. • Participate in agile ceremonies including daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. • Maintain test automation code and test data in version control systems; ensure reproducibility and traceability of test execution. • Collaborate with DevSecOps and infrastructure teams to support continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
