We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Junior Systems Testing/QA Specialist to join our application delivery team. In this role, you will develop, maintain, and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test scripts to validate software quality across both Graphical User Interface (GUI) and non-GUI backend subsystems. Working within modern cloud-native and low-code ecosystems, you will perform diverse validation tracks—including functional, integration, system, regression, and API testing—to ensure applications behave exactly as specified by user requirements.
...
Location: North York, ON (Onsite / Hybrid options available)
Duration: 10-month contract
Advantages
Low-Code Enterprise Exposure: Accelerate your QA career by gaining specialized experience validating high-growth Microsoft Power Platform systems.
Full-Lifecycle Testing Scope: Own features completely—from requirements analysis and JIRA/DevOps configuration up to API validation and production readiness validation.
Strong Professional Mentorship: Build your skillset by working alongside experienced Test Leads, Product Owners, and senior application developers.
Stable Project Runway: A predictable, 10-month contract runway provides an ideal foundation to establish enterprise-level QA experience.
Responsibilities
Test Design & Execution: Analyze user requirements to build robust test scripts, test cases, and realistic test data profiles. Execute functional, integration, systemic, and regression tests against multi-tier applications.
Low-Code Environment Validation: Support hands-on quality control and testing activities directly within custom Microsoft Power Apps environments, ensuring seamless low-code application behavior and data integrity.
API Ingestion Testing: Build and execute targeted API validation routines, payload checks, and integration tests utilizing Postman.
Defect Governance: Isolate, document, log, and track software anomalies from initial discovery down to regression validation. Work closely alongside software developers to reproduce bugs and verify system resolutions.
Agile Lifecycle Collaboration: Participate actively in core Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning sessions, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives, utilizing Azure DevOps or JIRA to track tasks.
QA Documentation Production: Maintain highly detailed test execution reports, test coverage metrics, validation logs, and input matrices for end-user manuals and official product release notes.
Non-Functional Testing Support: Assist in executing basic accessibility checks (complying with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act - AODA standards) along with baseline performance, stress, and data integrity verification.
Qualifications
Targeted Platform Experience: Practical, hands-on experience supporting testing activities and validating features within Microsoft Power Apps systems.
API Testing Tooling: Demonstrated proficiency using Postman (or highly similar tooling) to perform backend API testing and web service validation.
Agile Framework Literacy: Solid experience working inside Agile or Scrum project delivery pipelines utilizing tracking software such as Azure DevOps or JIRA (or alternatively HP ALM, Zephyr, TestRail).
Artifact Authoring: Proven ability to write clear, concise, and comprehensive test cases, defect descriptions, summary execution reports, and QA lifecycle documentation.
Database & Scripting Basics: Foundational knowledge of query tools (SQL) to validate data synchronization across backend databases, with a basic awareness of scripting languages (e.g., JavaScript, Python) for automation.
Education/Soft Skills: Academic background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and written/verbal communication skills with a track record for meeting project deadlines.
Desirable Skills
Familiarity with automated UI testing tools such as Selenium.
Basic understanding of performance testing frameworks (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner) to evaluate systemic bottlenecks.
Exposure to testing Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) business applications and working across all phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
