Job Description

Mission

Since a few years the Bus/IT delivery organisation is working increasingly according to Agile standards, mainly based on Scrum and SAFe principles. This has been a successful transformation so far with e.g. the full adoption of PI cycles and a close IT-Business collaboration and integration. However, one of the crucial elements in a delivery organisation, testing, has received underweight attention in this transformation so far. While other aspects have been maturing, the lack of clear testing methods, processes and ownership thereof leads to unnecessary inefficiencies, reduced speed and risk of loss of motivation at the side of testers. The support of Test Analysts to is a key element and prerequisite in the test-improvement roadmap that has been drafted. The Test Analyst will be a member of Operational Excellence Team, which supports the Retail Transformation and will be assigned to a scrum Team.

Organized, proactive and result driven, you will be closely involved in the build activities of your Scrum team and you will play an important role in ensuring that the quality of the new developments reaches the company standards. As a Test Analyst you will participate in most of the activities of the scrum team from an end user perspective. You will lead, prepare and execute the necessary steps in order to guarantee that the features and user stories developed by the team meet the entry criteria for the Regression Testing and can therefore be deployed in the Acceptance environment and eventually in Production.

Your Scrum team manages the Digital Solutions enabling our Digital Interactions with Prospects, Customers and Partners. In this context, you will organize and test with a "pixel perfect" mindset the different User Experience Journeys.
