Vacancy

As Online Tester at Action you take care of carrying out tests when a new functionality on a digital platform is launched. You possibly set up test-tools and test the working of functionalities and applications from the perspective of the website and interfaces with other applications. Sometimes you test systems or services in the cloud. If, for example, a marketing campaign is launched on the website, it first needs to be tested well, not only functionally but also in some aspects technically. You thoroughly test each step and record all your findings in test-tools. You report these to the Digital Test Coordinator.

Working week


A day is enjoyable when you have run a lot of tests and it appears as a result of solving your findings that the quality has been improved enormously.

A day is less enjoyable when you discover that you overlooked something during testing.

Firsthand experience

During testing you notice that something is missing in the test script. What do you do?

You discuss with the Test Coordinator what is missing. You tell him or her for example that a step is missing and why it would still be good to implement this in the test. The Test Coordinator discusses this with the Product Owner so the test will be adjusted and you can continue testing.

Growth

The Action Academy offers diverse training modules through which you can further develop yourself. Programs are offered in-house for example in the field of leadership, communication and project management. In addition, external development and/or training possibilities are open for discussion.
