AISB 1091 - Functional Application Tester

Context and project

A regional public body in Wallonia is launching a programme to digitalise its business procedures and reference data. The goal is an integrated platform covering internal management, reference data and data publication, supporting the full lifecycle of a case file.

The platform is built on the Odoo ERP. It will interface with other regional and federal applications, some still to be defined (website, GIS, exchange platform, advisory opinion submission).

The role involves supporting the functional business test coordinator, with end-to-end application testing capability across the platform and all integrated modules. Joining at project start is expected, in order to build an in-depth technical and functional understanding of the solution.

Responsibilities

• Set up a business testing framework with the business testers: team, method, governance, deliverables.
• Help the coordinator design and structure functional test scenarios, and write scenarios as well.
• Draw up compliance and non-regression test plans for the entire platform and its integrations.
• Execute tests ahead of business users.
• Collect defects and non-conformities and report them to the team in charge, for fixes, improvements and enhancements.
• Take part in the testers’ community of practice.

The position sits within the programme’s digital team, working alongside project managers, programme management, the QA and test coordinator of an associated platform, and the business stakeholders involved.
