Short-term manual QA role to execute pragmatic tests on critical functional scenarios. Validate main flows (insert/read/update) using APIs and databases, log defects in Jira/Xray, prioritize tests, and collaborate with developers for rapid feature validation.
Client is in the active delivery phase of an
integration and components project and is seeking immediate support in test
execution without a long learning curve. The ideal candidate is an experienced
manual tester, comfortable with APIs and databases, capable of working on
critical functional scenarios in a dynamic Agile environment. The role is
explicitly short-term: concrete contribution from day one, simple and effective
testing rather than methodological perfectionism. Jira and Xray are the defect
management tools; familiarity with these tools is expected but not formally
required. Experience in automation is an asset, not a selection criterion,
which confirms that the need is primarily manual and operational. Knowledge of
the financial sector is an asset but is highly relevant to the context.
