Job Description
Responsibilities
- Develop, enhance, and maintain test automation frameworks for complex systems, with a strong focus on pytest to create modular, reusable, and scalable automated test solutions
- Automate end-to-end testing of APIs, databases, and system integrations, using pytest fixtures to efficiently manage test setup and teardown, and hooks to customize test execution behavior
- Implement advanced Python automation techniques using tools like decorators to enhance test functions or add extra functionality, context managers for clean resource management (e.g., opening/closing connections), and iterators for controlling test data flows.
- Collaborate with development and product teams to ensure that automation solutions align with specifications and deliverables.
- Utilize pytest parametrization to efficiently run tests with different input sets and edge cases, enhancing test coverage and reducing redundancy.
- Work with CI/CD pipelines to integrate automated tests into the development pipeline using tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions, ensuring that all tests are continuously run with every change.
- Troubleshoot and debug automation frameworks, addressing issues related to Python concurrency (e.g., asyncio or threading) and exception handling
- Continuously improve test strategies and workflows, ensuring that automation remains efficient, maintainable, and easy to extend.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of hands-on software development experience, with a strong emphasis on Python
- Proficiency in pytest, including the creation and management of fixtures and hooks, and advanced features like parametrization for efficient test execution.
- Deep understanding of Python's advanced features, such as:
- Decorators: Creating reusable patterns for modifying or enhancing functions or methods.
- Context Managers: Efficient resource management using the with statement.
- Iterators: Implementing and using custom iterators to iterate over complex data structures or handle resource management during tests.
- Inheritance: Utilizing different types of inheritance to create a flexible and maintainable test framework.
- Exception Handling: Properly managing test failures and exceptions with custom handlers, ensuring tests remain resilient.
- Generators: Using generators to handle large sets of data efficiently during test execution.
- Experience with REST API testing, JSON schema validation, and HTTP protocols.
- Solid understanding of RDBMS concepts (preferably MySQL) and writing/optimizing queries for test data validation.
- Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, Agile development environment.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with Python concurrency (e.g., asyncio, threading) to write high-performance, non-blocking test solutions.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) and related tools like CloudWatch for monitoring and debugging test environments.
- Experience working with containerized environments (e.g., Docker) and testing distributed systems effectively.
