As a Test Analyst, you will plan, design, coordinate and execute testing for digital solutions across the Microsoft product stack, working with stakeholders and multidisciplinary delivery teams to confirm requirements, manage quality risks and support successful releases.

• Plan, prepare, coordinate and execute functional, integration, regression, system and release testing for projects and enhancements across Microsoft Power Platform, Power Apps code apps and related Microsoft cloud services.

About you

You don’t need to tick every box, but you will likely bring practical experience testing digital applications across Microsoft Power Platform and related Microsoft technologies. You will be comfortable interpreting requirements, designing and executing test scenarios, managing defects and producing clear test evidence and reporting. Experience testing low-code and pro-code solutions, integrations, APIs, data flows and role-based security will be valuable. You will understand accessibility, security, privacy and application lifecycle considerations, and work effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders and external partners. Relevant tertiary qualifications or testing certifications are welcome, but strong hands-on testing experience is just as important.

Cyber security is everyone’s responsibility at DCCEEW. In this role, you will play an active part in protecting the Department’s digital resources and supporting a strong security posture.
