Key duties and responsibilities

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 solid understanding of testing methodologies and best practices.
- Strong experience in test automation and modern testing tools, covering both: 1. 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. 2. 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.
