This may extend to testing of interaction with devices e.g. testing of interfaces and integration with other modules, products or interface test harnesses
- Perform static testing and impact assessment of development documentation
- Collaboration with members of your Agile team to ensure all user stories have enough acceptance criteria defined, from which test cases will be derived
- Assist with the population and maintenance of automated testing under the direction of the test automation specialists
- Analysis of customer support issues escalated to engineering
- Achieve agreed productivity targets in order to ensure tasks are delivered to schedule, reporting as early as possible to team or manager where delivery milestones cannot be met
- Work with the Agile team to achieve excellent levels of product quality prior to external release
- Work with the Agile team to produce any required documentation and training materials for the product(s) within your areas of responsibility
- Any other activities in support of the business which can be reasonably expected to fall within the capabilities of the employee

- A QA Engineer will identify areas for improvement in QA activities that could reduce waste and enhance efficiency
- A QA Engineer will share their knowledge at every available opportunity with others both within and outside the team
- A QA Engineer will possess strong communication skills, both oral and written, and will be able to engage various audiences and stakeholders

Our take
Unifying in-office and remote terminals with secure authorisation, BeyondTrust is meeting the changing demands of identity security with new technology. Though it was founded in 1985, BeyondTrust modernised its systems with a new software platform in 2022, that better suits the security needs of remote work and hybrid employee structure.
This modernisation speaks volumes about the direction of BeyondTrust, which was acquired by management platform Bomgar in 2018. With a focus on cloud technology, the company has successfully adapted to the ever-changing shape of cyber security threats and continues to nurture a large client base.
On top of record growth in 2022, the company continues to add new features and capabilities to its platform, showcasing its devotion to innovation that bodes well for its performance in the future. It has also become a strong voice in the movement for better cybersecurity practices in business, conducting surveys and research into the evolving space.
