Looking for QA Automation Lead | Remote | Need Ex - Fidelity Candidates

[Antony Antony]

Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

Job Title: QA Automation Lead

Location:Remote

Business workflows automation

The critical business workflows that need to be automated include order entry and submission across channels, order lifecycle processing (routing, execution, status updates, amendments, cancellations, corrections), trade processing and validation, and cross-platform interactions between legacy and modern OMS. The exact number of workflows expected to be automated is not specified.

QA automation tools and languages

The existing tools and technologies used for QA automation include a Java-based automation framework, Cucumber for behavior-driven development (BDD), and Selenium for UI automation. While these are the current tools, there is openness to recommendations for enhancements or alternative tools that offer stability, reliability, ease of maintenance, and integration with the existing ecosystem.

CI/CD integration and test migration

Automated tests should be integrated into the CI/CD pipelines to enable automated regression execution and on-demand testing. This integration will involve incorporating the automation framework into build and deployment pipelines, ensuring that test execution is automated and results are reported effectively. While the context does not explicitly state the need to migrate existing automated tests, it suggests reviewing and assessing existing test suites, which may imply that some existing tests could be integrated or migrated to align with the new framework and strategy.

Regression testing challenges and coverage

The current challenges in regression testing cycles include a lack of comprehensive, well-documented regression test coverage across both legacy and modern platforms, and the absence of end-to-end automation that spans these systems. The current level of test coverage is insufficient to support the modernization efforts effectively. The target level is to establish end-to-end regression coverage across key Order Management System (OMS) workflows, ensuring a unified automation framework that supports both legacy and modern OMS, integrated with CI/CD pipelines.

Reliability improvements

The automation framework is expected to improve reliability by reducing regression testing cycle times, enhancing test coverage across critical workflows, and improving the stability and reliability of automated tests. It aims to reduce defect leakage to production, ensure low test flakiness, and provide consistent execution results. Additionally, robust test data management and minimal dependency on static datasets are key aspects of the reliability improvements.

Documentation standards

The QA automation framework requires comprehensive documentation standards, including framework design documentation, runbooks, operational guides, maintenance and extensibility guidelines, and a complete documentation package covering architecture, codebase, and execution processes. Additionally, structured knowledge transfer sessions and transition support to internal teams are essential to ensure the sustainability and extensibility of the automation capabilities.

Compliance and security considerations

The automation framework for the Order Management System modernization must adhere to compliance and regulatory requirements typical for financial systems. This includes ensuring data protection, secure data handling, and maintaining audit trails to comply with financial regulations and security best practices.

Post-implementation support

Post-implementation support is expected to focus on enabling internal teams to sustain and extend the automation capabilities. This includes conducting structured training sessions on framework usage, test development standards, execution, and reporting. Comprehensive documentation will be provided, covering architecture, codebase, and runbooks, to ensure a smooth transition and handover to the internal QA team
