An entry-level role in the software development and testing industry is known as a SQA Engineer-I (Software Quality Promise Engineer-I). Usually, the work include testing software programs, finding bugs, and making sure the program makes happy (by meeting a need or reaching a goal) the organization’s quality needed things. The following are some important details related to this position:

Key Responsibilities:

Test Planning & Execution:

• Design and execute test cases based on software needed things and functional (detailed descriptions of exactly what is required).
• Perform manual testing of computer programs and systems to identify bugs and issues.
• Participate in writing test plans and test scenarios.

Bug Identification and Reporting:

• Track and document defects, and communicate findings to the development team.
• Follow up on defect resolution to secure/make sure of appropriately-timed fixes.

1. Collaboration:

• Work closely with software developers, product managers, and other (people who are interested in a project or business) to understand the software’s ability to do things.
• Help in performing moving backward testing to secure/make sure of new code changes do not negatively affect existing features.

2. Automation:

• Sometimes, you may help with or learn automation testing, using tools such as Selenium, JUnit, or TestNG to automate repeating testing tasks.

3. Continuous Improvement:

• Provide (reactions or responses to something/helpful returned information) for improving testing processes and ways of doing things.
• Participate in after-release testing and quality analysis to secure/make sure of software meets customer needed things.

Description

• Promise to high standards of quality for product delivery and loyalty to user (detailed descriptions of exactly what is required).
• Software applications should be tested and evaluated in accordance with functional and business requirements.
• Give developers comments and suggestions regarding the functionality and usability of the app.
• Document test cases and test results.
• Ensure testing is on schedule and in-line with the processes.
• keeping team members informed in order to expedite the execution of test plans, test cases, and procedures.
• Good database testing concepts.
• Any other task assigned by the line manager/ HOD.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s in computer science / information technology or any relevant discipline.
• 0–3 years of experience working as a SQA engineer in a comparable position.
• Knowledge of automation testing (Selenium, TestNG)
• Proficiency in test case, script, scenario, and procedure writing (Unit, BAT, Regression, Functional, Systems, Stress & Scale, Smoke & Sanity)
• Experience in cross-platform/cross-browser testing
• Experience in Performance Testing (LoadRunner, JMeter, etc.)
• Knowledge of the standards, test cycles, and principles of software testing
• Knowledge of existing QA best practices and methodologies to design, implement and automate processes
• Understanding and hands-on testing experience of REST & SOAP APIs (POSTMAN, SOAPUI)
• Self-motivated, quick learner and a responsive team player
• Excellent written/oral communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills
• Capacity to produce high-quality results while working under pressure and adhering to deadlines and goals

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Fuel Card
• Health benefits
• Professional development opportunities
• Inclusive work culture & much more

Skills 

• Manual Testing: Knowledge of different types of testing (functional, non-functional, performance, etc.).
• Bug Watching and following Tools: Experience with tools like JIRA, Bugzilla, or almost the same for reporting defects.
  Basic Programming Knowledge: (state of knowing someone or something well) with programming languages like Java, Python, or C++ for understanding the code (especially useful for automation).
• Attention to Detail: Strong (related to careful studying or deep thinking) and (finding the source of problems) skills to identify and fix defects.
• Communication Skills: Ability to report issues clearly and effectively to developers and management.
• Basic Automation Skills (if related): Knowledge of scripting or automated testing tools.

Education & Experience:

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Usually, an entry-level position, so 0-2 years of experience in software testing or quality promise is needed/demanded.

Career Growth:

This role is a starting point in software testing and can lead to advanced positions like SQA Engineer – II, SQA Lead, Test Automation Engineer, or even managerial roles like QA Manager.

In end/end result, by testing and defect reporting, a SQA Engineer plays an extremely important part in (promising that something will definitely happen or that something will definitely work as described) the ability to do things and quality of software computer programs.
