Company: Hindawi Romania - A Wiley Brand
Our mission is to unlock human potential. We welcome you for who you are and the background you bring, and we embrace individuals who get excited about learning. Bring your experiences, your perspectives, and your passion; it’s in our differences that we empower the way the world learns.
We strive for a future where researchers are motivated to work together, empowered with the tools and services they need to do so, and freed from any barriers that stand in their way.
We believe in the power of open scholarly communication to radically improve the research process. We are passionate about working with the research community to promote the transition towards Open Science on a large scale. With the help of our editors, we focus on serving our authors while preserving robust publishing standards and editorial integrity.
About the company:
Hindawi is one of the world’s largest open-access publishers of peer-reviewed journals. Our journals publish thousands of articles annually across all areas of science and medicine, reaching millions of readers. Most of what we build is open-source; therefore, you can get a better idea of the kind of work done so far; just head over to https://gitlab.com/hindawi.
Here are some things we’ve worked on recently that might give you a better sense of what we’re building:
Email Template Manager built by WhoThis team
Editor Suggestion Tool built by Qalas team
Flexible Editorial Models built by the Rocket team
We value people who can take a stand yet commit even when they disagree. And understand the value in others being heard. We subject ideas to rigorous consideration and challenge each other, but all remember that we’re here for the same purpose: to do good work together. That comes with direct feedback, openness to each others’ experiences, and willingness to show up for each other as well as for the technical work at hand. We’re in this for the long term.
About the Role:
The key role of an Agile Tester is to perform testing on the software project and accurately articulate issues, risks or possible improvements identified.
They should have good interpersonal skills as they must collaborate closely with all other team members and with business stakeholders. They work with software development team and attend design and development meetings to understand requirements and contribute to product value.
Testers in Agile projects need to break away from the principles and working methodologies of traditional software development. They do not only focus on product testing to find bugs, but also look for ways of improving defect
prevention, mitigating existing risks (issues, tech dept, testing dept) and acting as a quality advocate within their area of influence.
How you will make an impact:
The role of a tester in an Agile team includes activities that generate and provide feedback not only on test status, test progress, and product quality but also on process quality.
These activities include:
- Understanding, implementing, and updating the testing approach;
- Measuring and reporting test KPIs across all applicable areas when needed;
- Creating, configuring, using, and managing test environments and test data. Act as owner of testing environments.
- Coaching other team members in relevant aspects of testing;
- Ensuring the appropriate testing tasks are scheduled during release and iteration planning;
- Actively collaborating with developers and business stakeholders to clarify requirements, especially in terms of testability, consistency, and completeness;
- Defining and implementing a complete testing process / procedures / ways of working (or improving an existing one)
- Maintaining the CI/CD pipeline and infrastructure and working with the team on improvements and validating changes.
- Providing support to 3’rd line team or directly to end-users if needed.
- Assisting in coaching junior testers or other colleges in general testing techniques or methods
- Contributing to initiatives outside of the scrum team Like defining performance benchmarks/skills and traits for testers in line with changes is schools of thought in the developing world of software development.
- Knowledge sharing initiatives, show & tell sessions or directly assisting colleagues in other teams if applicable.
- Working together with other testers/devs to tackle initiatives outside the scope of any 1 team, such as:
- Improving the onboarding process or tech interview
- General Project / Domain knowledge with testing specific documentation, mind-maps, charts, test, risks
- Training non-testers in basic testing
- Infrastructure or automation framework improvements
What we look for:
- We are looking for an Agile Tester that likes to constantly learn and is not afraid to explore tools, tech, approaches
- outside of his/her comfort zone, to help others and who challenges any initiative (feature request, changes to
- process, strategy modification, group decision) that he/she thinks is detrimental to product quality or process efficiency.
- We expect you to own your testing process, your testing environment, provide support to 3’rd line team & endusers,
- look for proactive improvements, define them and implement them, learn coding (automation, if you don’t already know) or actively contribute to setup a cohere test automation process across the Phenom platform.
