Job Description

Job Description:

• Develop performance test strategies, test plans, and schedules based on application requirements and use cases.

• Work closely with development teams and business analysts to understand performance needs and goals.

• Design, create, and execute load, stress, endurance, and scalability tests to evaluate application performance.

• Use performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling, NeoLoad) to simulate different levels of load and traffic.

• Analyze test results to identify performance issues, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement (e.g., resource utilization, latency, throughput).

• Create detailed reports documenting findings, including graphs and charts to show performance trends.

• Collaborate with developers to diagnose and resolve performance issues.

• Recommend improvements to software architecture, code, infrastructure, or databases to enhance system performance.

• Monitor system performance during tests and in production environments.

• Generate and present reports to stakeholders, summarizing test results, findings, and recommendations for improvement.

• Perform regression tests during software releases and updates to ensure no performance degradation.

• Set up and maintain test environments that closely resemble real-world production systems.

• Ensure test environments are properly sized and optimized for performance testing.

• Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and new performance testing tools.

• Continuously improve testing processes and methodologies based on feedback and project needs.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Proven experience as a performance tester or in a similar role within a QA or software testing team.

• Strong experience with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling, NeoLoad).

• Good understanding of web technologies (e.g., REST APIs, WebSockets).

• Experience in load testing, stress testing, and other types of performance testing.

• Proficiency with performance monitoring tools (e.g., New Relic, AppDynamics, Dynatrace).

• Knowledge of database performance and query optimization.

• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and practices.

• Basic programming skills (e.g., Java, Python, Groovy) to create custom test scripts or automate tasks.

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills to identify performance issues.

• Ability to communicate complex performance data to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Excellent collaboration skills for working with developers, product owners, and other team members.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently.

• Experience with cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) for scalable performance testing.

• Knowledge of performance engineering best practices.

• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and working in Agile teams.

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.

• Willingness to work in an office setting or remotely, depending on the organization.

• Occasional travel may be required for on-site testing, client meetings, or project reviews.
