Description
The Enhancing of Home and Community Care (HCC) Digital Connectivity program is executing a multi-year strategy to modernize the Home and Community Care digital ecosystem, reduce dependency on the CHRIS platform, and establish the technical foundations for a future-state home care platform. Current program plans require the rationalization of existing Client Health and Related Information System (CHRIS) functionality and the progressive decomposition of the platform's monolithic architecture into modular, interoperable services that can integrate with next-generation digital solutions. To support this transformation, the Agency requires the procurement of three Sr. Systems Testing Quality Assurance Specialists to provide specialized expertise in test automation, and delivery enablement across CHRIS, HPG, and related modernization initiatives. These resources will design, develop, and maintain automated testing frameworks and regression suites, enabling faster and more reliable validation of new services, integrations, and application enhancements. Their expertise will help accelerate delivery timelines, improve software quality, reduce manual testing effort, and support the ongoing transition from tightly coupled legacy components to reusable, service-based architectures.
Responsibilities:
- Develop, maintain, and execute test strategies, test plans, test cases, and test scripts for CHRIS and HPG initiatives.
- Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and regression test suites using Playwright.
- Perform functional, integration, system, end-to-end, and regression testing.
- Validate application functionality, interfaces, APIs, and data integrity across multiple integrated healthcare systems.
- Analyze business and technical requirements and translate them into effective testing solutions.
- Identify, document, track, and validate defects through resolution using Azure DevOps.
- Support release management activities, deployment validation and smoke testing.
- Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
- Provide testing metrics, status reporting, documentation, and knowledge transfer throughout the engagement.
