An SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) is a professional skilled in both software development and software testing. They play a hybrid role that bridges the gap between developers and testers, with a focus on ensuring the quality and reliability of software applications. SDETs are instrumental in creating robust testing frameworks, tools, and processes, enabling automated testing as part of the development lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
1. Test Automation: Develop and maintain automated test suites for functional, integration, performance, and regression testing.
2. Code Quality: Contribute to code reviews and ensure testability in the codebase.
3. Framework Development: Design and implement test automation frameworks tailored to the application and development environment.
4. Collaboration: Work closely with developers, QA teams, and product managers to understand requirements and define testing strategies.
5. Continuous Integration/Delivery: Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast and reliable deployment cycles.
Skills Required
• Proficiency in programming languages (e.g., TypeScript, JavaScript).
• Experience with testing tools (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Appium).
• Knowledge of software testing methodologies (e.g., black-box, white-box, and performance testing).
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
