Our quality engineering teams facilitate the test effort's success by driving quality and test advocacy, resource planning and management, and resolution of issues that impede the test effort. They act as trusted or expert advisors and specialist resources that provide leadership in all quality engineering related activities, including providing guidance on opportunities to improve quality, approach and strategy.
The PPB Technology Quality Engineering Graduate Programme aims to attract talent with strong technical knowledge who can become thought leaders and trusted advisors. The programme combines theoretical learning and practical experience.
By the end of the programme, you will have gained exposure to and developed skills in:
- Coordinate all reporting requirements, including test status, defect monitoring and resolution, risks, metrics definition, etc. across all quality engineering activities to ensure that the state of quality engineering is clearly communicated and documented.
- Deliver the consolidated approach to quality engineering and provide input to the deliverables to drive compliance to required standards where applicable.
- Drive alignment with the automation initiatives with the system team for the relevant portfolios and applications to ensure standardisation in accordance with the team objectives and strategies.
- Drive the overall approach to quality engineering in consultation with other IT partners to drive alignment and respond appropriately to changes.
- Ensure that defined velocity targets are achieved for each iteration or sprint; document and escalate any identified risks accordingly so that delivery expectations are clear to the team.
- Ensure that quality engineering practices are aligned to strategic Build initiatives (i.e. Agile, CI, TDD etc.) so that modern engineering practices are continuously employed.
- Ensure that team participates actively on demo/pilot with business team so that business priority is understood and informs the adoption of the risk approach.
- Ensure that test approaches are aligned to the IT Engineering standards and IT strategic objectives so that progress towards achieving test strategies is future-fit, and that risks are minimised.
- Ensure that the necessary tools and environments are available for quality engineering activities so that test execution activities can progress seamlessly and efficiently.
- Execute the quality engineering coordination and tracking on the progress of quality engineering activities to ensure risk to solution delivery is quantified and communicated to the delivery team.
- Interact with the development and environment support team and resolve the issues based on team need so that blocks and challenges to the test effort are removed.
- Lead and champion quality engineering initiatives across the organisation to act as a change agent, and subsequently influence organisational change.
- Lead, motivate and develop the quality engineering capability to achieve agreed continuous improvement targets.
- Make sure that the team is delivering the right test summary or acceptance test summary reports so that the necessary inputs and risk to the feature teams are covered and advised.
