Key duties and Responsibilities
• Design, develop, execute and maintain automated regression tests spanning both UI and API/integration layers, alongside manual testing activities, ensuring these tests run as part of AMSA's CI/CD delivery pipelines rather than purely on demand.
• Deliver manual and automated testing activities to support AMSA's digital transformation initiatives,focusing on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform applications (Power Pages, Power Apps,Dataverse-based solutions) and their associated business processes.
• Quickly understand new business processes, applications and technologies, while effectively managing testing activities across multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities.
• Work independently with minimal supervision, become productive within a short onboarding period, and contribute to a high-performing testing team within AMSA's Testing Practice.
Essential criteria
Demonstrated experience testing Microsoft Dynamics 365 and/or Power Platform applications (Power Pages, Power Apps, Dataverse) and their associated business processes, including the ability to analyse requirements, design test scenarios, execute tests, manage defects, and support end-to-
end business process validation.
Demonstrated experience performing UI, functional, integration, system, regression, and user acceptance testing across web-based and enterprise applications, with a strong understanding of testing methodologies and best practices.
Strong experience in test automation and modern testing tools, covering both: UI regression testing (design, development, execution, and maintenance of automated UI test suites for enterprise applications, particularly Dynamics 365/Power Platform, using Playwright, Selenium, EasyRepro, or similar automation frameworks); and API/integration testing (automating validation of backend services and integrations, e.g. API Management-fronted APIs, Dataverse plugins/custom APIs, authentication flows, using tools such as Postman/Newman, REST Assured, or Playwright's API testing capabilities).
Demonstrated experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps), so tests execute automatically as part of build and release processes rather than solely on manual trigger.
Demonstrated proficiency with Visual Studio Code (VS Code), Azure DevOps, source control, defect management, and test management and reporting practices. Demonstrated understanding of Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) principles and Agile delivery methodologies, including experience working collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams.
Demonstrated adaptability and flexibility, with the ability to move between projects, technologies, testing phases, teams, and business domains as organisational priorities change.
Desirable criteria
ISTQB Automation Certification or similar certification.
Experience testing or supporting Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Power Platform, and Power BI solutions in depth (e.g., server-side/plugin logic, environment variable and secret configuration, API Management policy validation).
Experience using Jira or similar tools for test management and defect management, alongside Azure DevOps.
