Context

For the digitization of its public procurement, SPW has developed OMEGA, an internal management tool allowing the monitoring of the entire lifecycle of a public contract (drafting, awarding, and execution), and a frontend EXPRESSUM for communication and exchanges with the companies awarded contracts. OMEGA also interfaces with regional and federal applications in order to offer the user a complete purchasing journey. Omega is also interfaced with SAP for everything related to budget monitoring and invoicing.

OMEGA was developed on the ERP Odoo and uses several functional modules to meet business needs: Contracts, Purchase Order Management, etc. All these functionalities are included in a cross-functional platform for SPW's internal services, the cross-functional platform named ‘SOOLID’.

Objectives

The purpose of the assignment is to strengthen the Omega team as a functional application tester, end-to-end with integration tests as well. The goal is to ensure the completeness of the test scenarios and to execute them. To identify defects, document them, and report them to the project teams.

The assignment also involves coordinating business testers and transferring knowledge to subsequently make business teams autonomous.

Activities and Deliverables

The application tester must have a very good technical and functional business understanding (public procurement management) and very good writing skills. As well as the ability to interact with the involved business teams (organize, coordinate, feed, report).

The tester will be part of the business team of the Public Procurement Digitization Program.

He/she will also work in collaboration with the quality manager/test coordinator of the SPW Odoo platform and with the business teams involved in the project (lawyers, trainers, SPW SG, SPW MI, etc.)

More specifically, the missions covered by this request will be as follows (non-exhaustive list):

• Assist the business teams in coordinating User Acceptance Tests (UATs) (proactively) on the complex parts of the different projects.
• Assist the business teams in creating functional test scenarios and structuring their tests according to the priority deployment waves.
• Establish compliance, non-regression (possibly integrity, load, and performance) test plans specifically for the business application in question, developed within the cross-functional Soolid platform.
• Write test scenarios in Xray (JIRA).
• Verify that the functional requirements/specifications have been correctly implemented; and this from end-to-end of the functional scenario.
• Plan and execute these test plans, and write test reports.
• Collect anomalies/non-conformities and communicate them to the responsible team.
• Execute non-regression tests.
• Monitor anomalies and non-conformities with the teams.
• Compare the service documentation, and more specifically error management, with the test reports.
• Anticipate the planned ODOO releases at SPW to organize the tests accordingly.

Participate in the testers’ community of practice.
