Under the direction and guidance of the Solution Architect, Service Delivery Manager, Test Manager, and Project Manager, the services to be provided are related to the testing, validation, verification, quality assurance, and test automation of NIRIS software modules. It is envisioned that these services shall be provided by one experienced software test engineer.

• Develop, update, and maintain NIRIS test cases, test scenarios, test scripts, and test data in accordance with agreed requirements, priorities, technical direction, release planning, and project objectives;
• Perform manual, automated, functional, regression, integration, and system testing to support the continued maintenance, validation, and evolution of the NIRIS software baseline;
• Support the full software testing lifecycle of NIRIS, including test analysis, test design, test implementation, test execution, defect reporting, retesting, regression testing, and test documentation;
• Develop, update, and maintain automated test scripts and test automation assets to improve test coverage, repeatability, maintainability, and regression testing capability;
• Support integration and verification activities to ensure that developed, updated, or maintained NIRIS software components operate correctly within the wider NIRIS system and in line with agreed interface, interoperability, and operational requirements;
• Analyse, investigate, document, and report software defects, test failures, anomalies, and quality issues identified during testing, integration, verification, release preparation, or operational support activities;
• Support the verification of defect fixes and software changes by performing retesting, regression testing, and validation against agreed acceptance criteria and requirements;
• Develop, update, and maintain test documentation, including test plans, test cases, test execution reports, defect reports, regression test evidence, automation documentation, and other project deliverables as required;
• Contribute to virtual and in-person meetings, reviews, planning sessions, sprint ceremonies, technical discussions, test coordination activities, and release readiness reviews with NCIA stakeholders and project team members;
• Ensure that all testing activities, test artefacts, automated scripts, defect reports, and associated deliverables comply with applicable NCIA testing standards, quality requirements, configuration management practices, and agreed project procedures;
• Update and expand the produced test assets, automated test scripts, test data, and documentation as necessary to accommodate new, revised, or emerging requirements throughout the duration of the engagement;
• Support the improvement of NIRIS software quality, reliability, maintainability, interoperability, and operational readiness by providing structured testing, clear test evidence, and timely feedback to the project team.
