Quality Assurance is a very unusual specialty in that it requires a desire to purposely break things and then suggest how to fix them so they don't break in the future. At HCSS you will be trying to break our construction software. This requires you to match wits with our programmers and constantly try things that you think they may not have thought of that a customer might eventually attempt to do. Degree NOT required.
The ideal candidate will have the following skills:
- Patient and measured in approach to work
- Enjoy looking for problems and ways to make things better
- Understand the business purpose of software and whether it is being achieved
- Highly organized, detail oriented, and a little 'nit-picky'
- Likes making lists and documenting things
- Can figure out shortcuts for any testing that is frequent, lengthy, and repetitious
The following are some of the duties of our software testers:
- Execute test plans and track results.
- Work with programmers to identify solutions to problems.
- Work with systems designers to develop test plans to verify software does what it is supposed to.
- Help teach programmers how to effectively test their own work.
- Work with the support department to verify problems reported by customers and report to programming a detailed analysis of the problem and possible solutions.
