Service description:

The mission consists of the following tasks:

• Writing test plans and test scenarios

The mission consists in writing test plans and test scenarios based on existing documentation and functionalities for the applications in the Asset Management and Market & Adequacy (CRM) domains.

The test scenarios include:

• Functional testing
• Non-functional testing (volume, performance, security, data quality, etc.)
• Integration testing
• Non-regression testing

All documents are written in English and must be accessible to any European reader with a basic knowledge of English.

• Preparing test data

Test data must be selected or created before executing the test scenarios.

• Executing the test scenarios

This must be done pragmatically, efficiently, and within the team’s planning.
