Experience and Skill Set Requirements:

• Quality assurance (QA), as defined in the RIDE-IT Testing Strategy, is the systematic process of determining whether IT solutions that have been developed and unit tested by the developers meet the specified requirements prior to delivering it to the business for user acceptance testing.
• QA will ensure the solution operates as expected based on design documents; mitigates any technical issues that could potentially arise; ensures the solution is error free and confirms the quality of the solution meets CAC standards and expectations.
• The RIDE-TI QA includes the following types of testing:

System Testing:

• System testing is conducted on a complete, integrated system to determine that the system functions the way it should as a whole and to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements.
• System testing input is all the integrated software components that have successfully passed unit testing and the software system itself integrated with any applicable hardware system(s).
• System testing is comprehensive and includes testing of all components.
• The intent of this testing is to identify and resolve as many system defects as possible before making the system available to the business users for testing.

Integration Testing:

• Integration testing is the software testing in which individual software components are combined and tested collectively.
• During system/integration testing, the separate units/modules will be tested together to ensure they work together to provide the required results as per the specified requirements.

Regression Testing:

• Regression testing is the process of testing changes to computer programs/applications to make sure that there is no impact to existing functionality.
• It verifies that changes to the solution do not negatively impact the unchanged functionality.
• Regression testing must be carried out where newly developed systems connect to existing systems to ensure nothing is changed in the existing functionalities of such systems

Evaluation Criteria:

• QA skills and experience - 70%
• Soft skills / communication skills - 20%
