Redde Northgate plc Hiring for Junior IT Test Analyst Job at Remote Full Time

Junior IT Test Analyst

Location: Home based
Salary: up to £25,000

Contract: Permanent
Hours: 37.5 hours

We have a fantastic opportunity for a dynamic Junior IT Test Analyst to join our recently formed Group IT team in the provision of application maintenance and support services, either directly to users of the systems or to service delivery functions.

This role will suit a graduate with a degree in a relevant field, or someone with some IT experience (not necessarily Testing or Applications related). There is plenty of long-term development in this role, and you’ll be guided by senior members of our friendly, growing Applications team to become a key member of the team. Funding for your ISTQB qualification can also potentially be offered.

What will you do?

As a Junior IT Test Analyst the support you provide typically includes investigation and resolution of issues and may also include performance monitoring. Issues may be resolved by providing advice or training to users, by devising corrections (permanent or temporary) for faults, making general or site-specific modifications, updating documentation, manipulating data, or defining enhancements. Testing often involves close collaboration with the system’s developers and/or with colleagues specialising in different areas, such as database administration or network support.

Test Analysts also take an active role in the change process, undertaking assistance in system capabilities and scoping, while performing testing capabilities throughout the test cycles.

Responsibilities will include:

• Ownership of test artefacts including scope definition, test scripts, reporting metrics and exit documentation, while acting as a custodian of the technical expertise and overall management of the application (e.g. Microsoft CRM).
• Helping to plan, implement and maintain a stable application environment and ensures that required resources and expertise are in place to design, build, transition, operate and improve the IT service and supporting technology.
• Engaging with specialist technical architects and designers, as well as specialist maintenance and support staff.
• Scheduling the work of User Acceptance staff, while ensuring all work is carried out and documented in accordance with required standards, methods and procedures.
• Supporting and maintaining procedures and tools for the correct recording and progressing of requirements.
• Ensuring that appropriate test tools are available and staff are supported to use them, and that adequate documentation for the applications supported is available and up to date.
• Ensuring that requests for support are properly logged, assigned and responded to.
• Monitoring performance of the test activity, reporting on its effectiveness and taking action to remedy deficiencies.
• Initiating action, by systems development staff or software suppliers, on the development of system enhancements to overcome known problems or further fulfil user requirements.
• Accepting new releases of applications software from systems development staff or software suppliers and undertaking testing roles during the change process.
