Scope of Work
The Tester will be responsible for ensuring robust quality assurance through comprehensive functional and regression testing for critical on-premise systems operating within secure environments. The role requires strict adherence to governance standards and strong documentation practices. Over time, the Tester will transition to building and scaling automated testing capabilities using enterprise automation tools, supporting HDB’s cloud-first strategy and centralised automation framework.

Key Responsibilities

Functional Testing (Initial Focus):

• Design and execute functional, system, and regression tests aligned with governance and quality standards
• Derive well-structured test cases from requirements and maintain traceability
• Collaborate proactively with project teams and users to clarify test objectives, scope, and acceptance criteria
• Prepare and manage test data, address environment constraints, and capture detailed evidence for compliance
• Log, triage, and verify defects; analyse outcomes and collaborate for resolution
• Communicate test results and key quality metrics clearly and effectively to all project stakeholders'
• Produce thorough documentation, for example test designs and summary reports, using standard templates and best practices
• Contribute to reusable regression test suites for future automation readiness

Automation Testing (Progressive Focus):

• Design and develop modular, reusable automated test cases for priority business flows using enterprise tools (e.g., Tosca, Selenium, Playwright).
• Build and maintain automation frameworks ensuring scalability and maintainability.
• Support transition from local automation development to centralised cloud-based authoring environments.
• Track and report automation coverage, stability, and quality metrics.
• Establish automation best practices and reusable component libraries.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of automated scripts and execution results.

Key Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in software testing, with strong functional testing background and exposure to automation.
• Ability to design comprehensive test cases from requirements and specifications.
• Strong documentation and evidence capture practices aligned with governance standards.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise automation tools or readiness to transition.
• Working knowledge of SQL for test data setup and validation.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (e.g., Java, Python, JavaScript, C#).
• Experience with API testing and validation techniques.
• Familiarity with defect management tools (e.g., JIRA, Azure DevOps).
• Proven ability to work effectively in secure or restricted environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; effective communication for stakeholder engagement

Highly Desirable Qualifications:

• Formal testing certifications (e.g., ISTQB Foundation, ISTQB Test Automation Engineer, Tosca certifications).
• Experience integrating automated tests in CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments.
• Knowledge of performance testing concepts and tools.
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and Agile methodologies.
• Background in government, public sector, or regulated industry IT projects.
