Software Tester (Berlin, German)

freeC's Client

• The company is constantly being developed, and you get to ensure the proper functioning of all new features. This includes not only checking for faults but also for logical consistency and intelligibility of our products. Every time we release a new version of product, which we regularly do, it's up to you to perform a final release test.
• As you cannot constantly test every single feature, we've developed automatic test routines. It will be an important part of your job to maintain, develop, and enhance these automatic tests.
• Every time an error occurs in our software, regardless of whether you, a customer, or a colleague found it, we require a detailed and reliable reproduction of the error to fully understand, and subsequently resolve, the problem. You'll be responsible for delivering the details we need to easily reproduce the problem on another computer. Your clarity of communication is crucial in getting the problem fixed, so strong written communication skills are a must.
• Our testing department also documents errors and everything related to them in our internal system. After the error has been resolved by our Developers, it is up to you to check if the problem has really disappeared. You'll also be responsible for deepening our internal Knowledge Base to capture the ever-evolving functionality of our product.
