Position Vacancy
Open to all internal and external candidates. Internal candidates will be given first consideration. Indicate interest by applying in writing to Human Resources. Please enclose a current resume.Department of Human Resources Fax # (613) 736-7882.
Position: Software Tester
Directorate: Product Management
Organization: Practice Solutions Software Inc
Location: Cambridge
Reports to: Software Test Lead
Job Summary
* Software quality is an important competitive advantage in our market, one that has a major impact on all areas of our organization. An effective QA process will identify and correct a software problem internally, before it can impact our clients. This protects the enviable reputation of our product which makes it easier for our sales force to sell to potential customers. Catching bugs early also reduces our support costs, allowing our support team to handle a larger number of clients. Finally, detecting these flaws early gives our development team adequate time to study and correct a problem in a controlled environment. Once a client site has been impacted, the urgency of getting a site running again can lead to less than optimal solutions to a problem.
* The primary role of the Software Tester is to provide functional testing of the clinical management systems and services that Healthcare Software provides to its clients. To successfully meet the challenges of this role, the incumbent will possess a good understanding of basic testing methodologies, and must be willing to develop a comprehensive knowledge of how our products are used by physicians as they practice medicine, and by support staff as they manage the medical office. This position requires excellent analytical skills; the incumbent must be able to take the viewpoint of the client, asking not what a user should do, but rather what a user could conceivably do.
* Good communication skills are vital; tact and diplomacy are crucial to maintaining co-operative relations between the key stake-holders in the quality management process. The incumbent must be at ease communicating with both technical (developers) and non-technical (customers, management) people, and must be able to communicate effectively in writing. The QA Analyst will be required to write test scenarios and test cases, and then summarize the results of those tests for the development team.
* This position does not include supervisory responsibilities.
Specific Responsibilities
* Carrying out functional testing of the clinical management software
* Writing, executing and documenting test scenarios and test plans
* Working with support personnel to replicate problems reported from the field
* Track issues as they are identified, corrected, re-tested and released
* Liaise with external agencies (provincial ministries etc)
* Maintain functional test environments (testing accounts, test data sets)
* Help develop training materials, build interactive training modules
* Documenting new features as they are released
* Perform other related duties as directed by the Software Test Lead.
Knowledge
* Community college diploma in computer technology or equivalent post-secondary education
* Understanding of basic testing methodology
* Proficient in the use of a wide range of computer software.
* Excellent verbal communication, administrative and organizational skills.
* Good written communication skills
* Ability to plan, prioritize and work with minimum supervision.
* Good attention to details
* Strong interpersonal skills to deal effectively with the client community.
* A professional and positive attitude.
* Shows initiative and adapts well to change.
Experience
* Experience in a QA role is highly desirable
* Strong PC skills and a good knowledge of Windows and / or Mac OS X is required
* Experience working in a medical environment would be an asset
