Our client is an institutional-grade financial services network that connects companies, organizations, traders, and investors to the global markets ecosystem through a unique blend of digital platforms, end-to-end clearing and execution services, high-touch service, and deep expertise. They provide institutional access to 39 derivatives exchanges, 175 foreign exchange markets, nearly every global securities marketplace, and several bi-lateral liquidity venues, as well as retail market access via Forex.com and City Index, among other platforms. Currently, the company serves more than 32,000 commercials, institutional and payments clients, and more than 330,000 active retail accounts across 180 countries. Primarily supporting marketing with issues they come into when editing content or creating content in the CMS. There will be little to do with automation, more of a supporting role to marketing. No development work or testing of mobile apps. It will be 100% working on the customer’s current forex.com and cityindex.com sites and more sites we will be undertaking in the future. The primary interaction will be correcting or educating the marketing team on how to build out a page or relay defects to Dev and fellow QA if needed. - Knowledge of writing SQL queries, procedures, Database Development tools, and concepts. - Experience with enterprise tools and CI tools such as Azure pipelines, Git, Jenkins. The tests are written in C# using NUnit and Specflow (although Specflow is not actively supported, the client still has many tests to maintain). Developers are responsible for unit tests. The QA's role is to write functional and UI tests. Two environments now, but the team always works in one environment. No plans for scalability now. The QA’s role is to submit a ready, stable application for UAT tests in the testing environment and later install it in the production environment. No specifics available, the client tries to introduce as many automated tests as possible but is aware that writing them sometimes can be expensive/costly. It's up to the QA how the Engineer does.
