In het kort: Je gaat als test engineer applicaties voor geïntegreerde planning en forecasting testen, testprocessen optimaliseren, testautomatisering opzetten en nauw samenwerken met analisten, ontwikkelaars en andere teams om kwaliteit en betrouwbaarheid te waarborgen.
The future of travel starts now. That is why we use data and technology to set the direction and make our airport operate ever smarter. With new digital solutions, we can, for example, better predict processes at Schiphol, so that passenger flows run smoothly and quickly. We also apply Deep Learning technology on images of our aircraft stands to provide optimal insights to handlers and airlines. This is how we give our passengers and airlines an excellent (digital) customer experience.
Business Platform Schiphol Operations
Within the Business Platform Schiphol Operations (BPSO), we aim to ensure an operational process that is predictable, controllable and efficient. Our mission is to optimise our airport operations every day using technology and data. To this end, we work on topics such as integrated planning & forecasting, building a digital twin of our airport, Turnaround Insights and Total Airport Management and data analytics. We also ensure that existing applications used in operations are maintained and further developed. We do this in close cooperation with suppliers, our own development teams and other departments such as Data & Analytics, Operations and various platform teams within IT.
One of our productsservices is supporting and developing the Integrated Planning & Forecasting platform (IP&F). This IP&F platform contains several business-critical applications that help the organisation prepare and run the day of operations on the aspect of passenger flow forecasting and asset planning. The processes we support are: terminal, airside, baggage and landgate-stand (planes), busses and check-in/reclaim (bagagebaggage)side and the end-users are working on all time horizons (strategic, tactical, operationalpast days for analysis, today’s operation, tactical up to 1 month ahead and strategical up to years ahead). The development is done by an external partners together with an internal team consisting of business analysts, architect, information analyst, test engineer, dev-ops engineer, product owner and application management etc.
What are you going to do as a test engineerer?
As a Test engineerer, you contribute to the airport of the future by actively testing our applications. Within the team, you closely collaborate with the QA Lead and testers from other teams and clusters. Furthermore,On a daily basis you will engage in frequent discussions with the business analists, information analists domain solution architect and work closely with your teammates.team to test and manage new releases of our products.
In the IP&F team, you ensure that the entire testing process runs smoothly. You have a strong understanding of the functionalities of the applications and understand the underlying business processes we develop and and possess have the skills to thoroughly test them. You provide your team members and suppliers with clear feedback on the test results, thus ensuring the quality and business value of our functionalities.
One of your goals is to increase test coverage, for both functional as non-functional testing. Experience with various types of non-functional testing is therefore a plus. Additionally, we expect you to think about how (test) processes can be optimized and to share your test-related knowledge with your teammates.
We also plan to start test automation in the future, and you will be able to play a role in that later.
One of our more important goals for next year is to also implement test automation for regression testing (we use Playwright at Schiphol). This is still very much underdeveloped at the moment.
Part of your role will be:
– Prioritizing test conditions
– Writing test cases for our 3 applications (Gate-stand, Bus, BagageBaggage)
– Setting up and maintaining test data
– Testing both Functional and non-functional aspects of our applications
– Setting up tests on for different levelsareas, like regression and integration tests, where you work closely with other departments and teams within Schiphol.
– Generating test reports and documenting test findings
– Supporting the issue and support-processes of our applications
– Optimizing (test) processes
– Setting up test automation for our 3 applications
– Executing tests for application releases, OS patching and lifecycle managmentmanagement
– Creating automated tests that can be run via an Azure DevOps/GitHub pipeline
The position is for 36 hours per week. We operate in a hybrid manner, which means you work where you can perform your work best. Sometimes that is at home, sometimes at a collaborative workspace, and at other times in the reserved department wing in the office, to stay in touch with your colleagues and connect with the Schiphol Group company. We value interaction with each other. For this reason, we aim for a good balance between remote work and presence at the office. In addition to a ‘work hard’ mentality, our department also fosters an environment where there’s room to enjoy activities together, from a social gathering to an outing.
