Automated Regression Test Consultant

For our client in the aviation industry we are currently looking for a automated test consultant

Start date: mid September

Duration: 5 months

Location: Maastricht (Netherlands)

Language: English

Our client currently has an automated regression test (ART) environment. This environment is rather old, but it works perfectly. ART consists of a test engine, and then of about 300 worksheets in Excel files in 32 cluster directories, each providing one or more test steps. Running the tests, more than 2 million test cases are executed. Every two months they get new features on the system they need to test. These new features result in the fact that the development team has to modify the test scripts. Half of the development effort is nowadays spent on test case maintenance and test execution.

Of course this not at all desirable. That's why they are looking for you! You're an experienced Automated test consultant who will help them in completing a study on how to improve the ART. You won't do any actual improving, this will be done after the study is completed. Your automated test experience includes working with Real Time Human Machine Interfaces (HMI's). Because it concerns an environment where software failing is not an option, you will need to have knowledge of SIL-2/SWAL-3 software development processes.

Skills:

- Experience defining, assessing and monitoring large system SIL-2/SWAL-3 software development processes
- Experience with (test) programming language design and interpreter implementation.
- Experience with Tcl/tk
