<> Summary
We are looking for an experienced software tester to perform quality assurance testing on two very similar pieces of software. The software in question facilitates the estate planning process. Each piece of software has about 35 screens with very simple functionality that need to be tested.
You must have several years of experience in testing or software development on a Window platform. You must be extremely detailed oriented and have the ability to clearly communicate your thoughts and findings. And, finally, you must be proactive with the ability to set and meet your own realistic deadlines.
<> Testing Requirements
You’ll be responsible for testing these two applications for the following:
1. Installation/Un-installation Process ??" Ensure that this process works smoothly and logically on all required operating systems.
2. Usability ??" Ensure that all of the applications functions work appropriately and make any suggestions for improving the interfaces. The interfaces are very simple and intuitive already with only a few options on each page.
3. Typos or Graphical Errors ??" Note any textual or graphical errors.
4. Anything Else ??" Notify us of anything else that needs to be fixed.
We would like you to go through each program as a typical user, and follow through by looking for any inconsistencies and output errors.
You’ll need to take screen shots of whatever errors you encounter and, beneath each screenshot, include a description of:
-how to replicate the error,
-specifically what needs to be fixed,
-what operating system you used at the time; and,
-what screen resolution you used at the time.
You’ll need to perform all of the tests listed above on both the following operating systems and screen resolutions:
