Test Analyst

At Klipboard we\’ve introduced a flexible hybrid work policy, where employees spend three days in the office and two days working from home. This approach promotes a balanced work environment that combines office collaboration with the comfort and convenience of remote work.

Klipboard provides specialist software, services and support to deliver fully integrated trading and business management solutions to companies in the distributive trade – wherever they are in the world. With a unique depth of knowledge and experience in ERP / SaaS solutions, Klipboard has a wide range of clients includes wholesalers, distributors, merchants and retailers from small traders to multinational enterprises. Klipboard has offices in the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands, South Africa, Kenya and North America. Our mission is simple : to design and deliver high performance, integrated ERP solutions that enable our distributive trade customers to source effectively, stock efficiently, sell profitably and service competitively.

Typically working within a test team but sometimes required to take sole responsibility for all aspects of testing. The test Analyst will be required to work with development teams, project managers, end users and other groups to ensure that all criteria of testing are fulfilled.

The nature of this work generally demands a reasonable level of proficiency in the quality assurance aspects of software, as the role may involve gathering of requirements, generation of test cases and test plans, integration with software components and feedback to both the test organisation and the other teams. The ability to maintain rigorous compliance with project deliverables and industry standards is a prized asset.

We drive to develop our Test Analysts with the skills needed to test Databases, APIs and to contribute to Test Automation. Prior Experience of the aforementioned is great – but a desire and willingness to learn is crucial.
