• Develop and maintain automated test scripts for UI/UX elements, validating the accurate rendering of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Optimize automated test performance, considering factors such as test execution speed, efficient test data management, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to documentation related to test plans, test cases, automation frameworks, and defect reporting, including front-end component testing guidelines and best practices.
• Maintain a high awareness of industry issues and trends, particularly in regard to automated testing methodologies, accessibility (WCAG) testing tools, front-end testing frameworks, and emerging web technologies, and keep team members informed as appropriate, with a view to incorporate these in future testing strategies, staying ahead of the market, and positioning yourself and the company as a digital quality assurance specialist.
  
  

You might be a good fit if you:

• Enjoy working on a small, collaborative, and cross-functional team, contributing to both test planning and execution.
• Have 3+ years of professional experience with web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and their relevance to front-end testing.
• Have 3+ years of professional experience in designing and implementing automated test frameworks and scripts.
• Have experience testing applications built on AEM, including understanding its component structure and content delivery mechanisms.
