Requisition Notes            

Project Fusion – The candidate will be part of the Project Fusion programme.

Adtech has a large number of complex distributed systems. To some of these systems we have introduced quality assurance in a traditional manner using experienced functional test engineers to interact with the HelisoIQ Application from the web front end.

For other systems such as the Adtech API, Adtech Services and backend components a lower level approach is required. This approach entails interacting with the different components at the lowest level, be it the APIor other available interfaces. The optimal and in some case only way to gain comprehensive coverage of these components is to interact with them using unit tests or a low level test framework.

For either approach a good knowledge of java or relevant language is required as is a strong working knowledge of software design. The candidates we are looking to hire for these roles are QA engineers who have gained strong programming skills over the course of their careers and are looking to apply these skills.
