Applies SME knowledge in a collaborative software development approach for quality assurance at the source using a high degree of automation. Guides and implements processes to assess development impacts to regression suites, testability of code, application performance to take measures to eliminate impacts to continuous testing. Provides SME level guidance to ensure timely quality checks along with updating of automation scripts. Provides SME advice on best practices to facilitate test driven development (TDD) and behavior driven development (BDD) to provide early and frequent testing as the software is developed. Acts as the SME to recommend and guide implementation of process improvements and continuous quality measures across the development lifecycle. Acts as the SME in the use of unit testing tools and tools for implementing TDD and BDD.
• Writes and executes application tests at the source code level to prevent hidden errors (i.e., white box testing) within unit and component testing. Provides expert guidance for improvements of code quality for issues ranging from functionality to structure of code for performance and maintainability.
