The Software Engineer in Test is responsible for determining how to test software requirements through manual and automated testing techniques as well as helping to mentor other SEiT engineers in organizational and team processes, procedures, and tools. In order to accomplish this objective, the SEiT associate will have to work within the SAFe Agile framework to analyze and help groom and estimate them. The SEiT will also have to develop test plans that identify positive and negative scenarios across a range of areas of code behavior (e.g., UI, Data Verification, Workflow, etc.) that will exercise the code enough to develop confidence in its functionality, performance, and accuracy. The SEiT will also be responsible to help develop and maintain a regression suite for the application. Finally, the SEiT will then have to translate these scenarios and regression plans into both manual and automated scenarios, run them, document the results and work with the Agile team to resolve issues.
