Role explained
What the work involves
Quality engineers design ways to learn whether a system behaves as expected. The work can include exploratory testing, API checks, browser automation with tools such as Selenium or Playwright, performance investigation and improving testability with developers.
Python or Java may be used to build test tooling; SQL helps inspect data, while CI/CD runs checks in the delivery workflow. Automation is valuable when it gives fast, trustworthy feedback—not simply when a suite is large.
OUTPUT 01
Test scenarios linked to risks and expected behaviour
OUTPUT 02
Reliable automation with clear failure diagnostics
OUTPUT 03
Reproducible defect reports and useful regression coverage
Skills and examples to demonstrate
- Good judgement about what to test and at which layer
- Ability to diagnose failures rather than only rerun suites
- Collaboration that improves quality earlier in development
Your Talent Passport
Make your work easy to understand
- Show a representative test and explain why it matters.
- Describe the signal-to-noise or debugging problem you addressed.
- List tools such as Playwright only with the context of your actual use.

Automate one stable journey in Playwright or Selenium and explain its boundaries.
Practise API, SQL and CI/CD checks using Python or Java where relevant.
Document a bug with reproducible steps, expected behaviour and evidence.
