Analyzes basic system performance and responses during loads. Applies a basic knowledge of procedures methodology and / or application standards to include payment card industry and security related compliance to testing activities using automation.
• 5) Assists stakeholders business developers and other analysts to develop test plans conditions and cases (set of inputs execution preconditions and expected outcomes developed for a particular objective such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement) to be used in testing and learns to perform test data conditioning and execution of test sets. Begins to build a base knowledge of using multiple environments to validate test conditions and reviews data values while learning the various components of the systems and the applications.
• 6) Works in a team on test activities assigned by team owner to include reviewing of client test plans cases and scripts.
