An SDET 2 (Software Development Engineer in Test 2) combines software development and quality assurance, with a focus on automation. They design, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks, scripts, and tools, and also perform manual testing when needed. SDET 2s collaborate with developers to improve code quality, reduce manual testing efforts, and ensure software meets requirements. Key Responsibilities: • Test Automation: Designing, building, and maintaining automated test suites, frameworks, and tools to verify software quality. • Code Quality: Analyzing and improving code quality to ensure that testing can be automated effectively. • Test Design and Execution: Developing test plans, cases, and scenarios, and executing tests (both manual and automated). • Collaboration: Working closely with developers, product managers, and other team members to understand requirements, prioritize testing efforts, and identify areas for automation. • Performance Testing: Performing performance tests to ensure software operates efficiently. • Bug Tracking: Identifying, reporting, and tracking bugs. • Process Improvement: Identifying and implementing process improvements to enhance testing efficiency and quality. • Test Data Management: Managing test data and environments to ensure tests can be executed reliably. • Documentation: Documenting test procedures, findings, and results. Skills: • Test Automation Frameworks: Experience with frameworks like Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, or similar. • Software Development Life Cycle: Understanding of software development processes and methodologies. • Agile Methodologies: Experience with agile development practices. • Problem-Solving: Ability to identify, analyze, and resolve software issues. • Communication: Strong communication and collaboration skills.
