Quality Analyst

We are seeking an experienced Quality Analyst to design and execute test collateral across integration, API, backend, and GUI levels. This role is focused on manual testing — applying strong test process knowledge and technique rather than automation scripting — to ensure changes are verified thoroughly and risk is managed effectively across complex, multi-system environments.

The successful candidate will bring hands-on experience with API testing, integration testing, and modern platform tooling, along with a solid understanding of working within government organisations and their associated processes and governance requirements.

•      Design, develop, and execute test cases, test scripts, and test collateral to verify changes at the integration, API, backend, and GUI levels.

•      Apply appropriate test techniques and processes to ensure comprehensive coverage and risk-based test prioritisation.

•      Conduct API testing using Postman, including request/response validation, data verification, and error handling.

•      Manage test cases, execution, and defects using Tricentis qTest.

•      Support integration testing across multiple interconnected systems and platforms.

•      Contribute to contract testing activities where applicable, ensuring service interfaces meet agreed specifications.

•      Collaborate with development, business analysis, and delivery teams to understand requirements and translate them into effective test coverage.

•      Identify, log, and track defects through to resolution, ensuring clear and accurate documentation.

•      Provide status reporting and quality metrics to project and delivery stakeholders.

•      Work within government processes, standards, and governance frameworks to ensure compliance and audit readiness.

•      3+ years' experience in integration testing.

•      Working knowledge of Tricentis qTest.

•      Working knowledge of Postman for API testing.

•      Strong understanding of API testing techniques and approaches.

•      Experience working within government organisations.

•      Experience with AWS, including Lambda.

•      Demonstrated ability to design test collateral covering integration, API, backend, and GUI levels.

•      Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.

•      Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

•      Experience with Tricentis Tosca.

•      Knowledge of contract testing techniques.

•      Experience with Kafka or other streaming platforms.

•      Familiarity with Kong (API gateway) and Akamai.

•      Available to commence within 4 weeks.

•      Able to provide creditable, verifiable references.
