QA Analyst

Role Overview

• Execute manual regression test scripts across release candidates, covering new features and existing functionality
• Validate functionality across a broad range of application modules, workflows, and user roles
• Perform smoke testing, feature testing, and onboarding regression validation
• Apply boundary and negative testing techniques to validate data integrity, edge cases, and error handling — particularly important for engineering data inputs and threshold-driven calculations
• Test against multiple client configurations and environments
• Support the development and execution of API and integration test cases as the team expands its testing coverage
• Log defects in Azure DevOps with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, and test data
• Triage and validate bug fixes; conduct regression on resolved defects
• Leverage Azure App Insights to capture additional error context where applicable
• Communicate clearly with developers to ensure defects are well-understood and actionable
• Create, update, and organize test cases and test suites within Azure DevOps
• Maintain the Master Test Script List as new features and modules are released
• Contribute to the Functional, Onboarding, and CIM Smoke Regression suites
• Collaborate with developers, product managers, and the QA Manager to align on priorities and release readiness
• Provide QA status updates and escalate risks to the QA Manager in a timely manner

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in software QA testing or a related testing role
• Hands-on experience with manual testing of web-based applications
• Proficiency with Azure DevOps (Test Plans, work item management, and defect logging)
• Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail — able to identify subtle regressions in data-heavy UIs
• Experience writing and maintaining structured test cases and test scripts
• Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to document bugs thoroughly
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment with minimal supervision
• Comfort querying relational databases using SQL to perform data validation and verify end-to-end feature behaviour beyond the UI layer
• Familiarity with Agile or Scrum development environments is an asset
• Familiarity with pipeline integrity, oil & gas, or regulated infrastructure domains (asset integrity, corrosion, PCFA, ILI concepts)
• Experience testing GIS-based or geospatial features in enterprise applications
• Familiarity with API testing tools, particularly Postman, for REST and GraphQL API validation — including query construction, response inspection, and schema testing
• Experience with data upload/export workflows and template-driven data management
• Experience with Azure App Insights or similar diagnostic/observability tools
• Prior experience working on multi-tenant SaaS platforms serving enterprise clients
• Experience leveraging AI/LLM tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to support testing activities such as test case generation, test data creation, or defect documentation
• Familiarity with exploratory testing techniques, including session-based testing and heuristic-driven approaches
