About the role
Cognizant is hiring for the role of Non-Functional Test Engineer!
Responsibilities of the Candidate:
- Define comprehensive non-functional test strategies and plans that validate the performance, reliability, scalability, and security of airport operations and airline applications in alignment with business goals and regulatory expectations.
- Design detailed test scenarios using advanced AI test generation tools to increase coverage reduce human error and accelerate identification of bottlenecks across complex aviation workflows.
- Develop robust automated test suites for performance and resilience including load stress endurance and capacity tests that provide clear metrics on system behavior under realistic airport passenger and flight volumes.
- Implement API testing frameworks that validate response time throughput data consistency and error handling for critical integrations among booking systems airport operational control systems and airline services.
- Coordinate end to end non functional test execution in a hybrid work model ensuring smooth collaboration between onsite and remote stakeholders and maintaining consistent communication and documentation.
- Analyze performance test results using structured methods to identify root causes of latency resource contention and stability issues and translate findings into practical tuning recommendations for engineering teams.
- Collaborate closely with application architects and developers to define non functional requirements capacity targets and service level objectives that reflect real world airline and airport operational demands.
- Create clear reusable test data strategies for non functional testing that simulate flight schedules passenger profiles baggage volumes and operational events without compromising privacy or compliance.
- Prepare concise dashboards and reports that present key non functional quality indicators trends and risks to project managers product owners and domain experts enabling informed decision making.
- Establish and refine automation standards for non functional tests to improve repeatability maintainability and integration into continuous integration and delivery pipelines across aviation platforms.
- Validate system behavior under failure scenarios by orchestrating component outages network disruptions and degraded services to ensure graceful recovery and minimal impact on airport and airline operations.
- Support defect triage for non functional issues by prioritizing based on customer impact operational risk and regulatory considerations and by driving timely resolution with technical teams.
- Mentor peers on non functional testing practices tools and domain specific scenarios sharing knowledge about aviation processes so the entire team can deliver higher reliability outcomes.
Requirements
- Demonstrate strong experience in using AI test generation tools to design complex non functional test scenarios enhancing coverage and reducing test design cycle time in fast paced delivery environments.
- Apply practical expertise in test automation frameworks to create maintain and execute performance and reliability test suites that integrate seamlessly with existing build and deployment pipelines.
- Use deep hands on skills in API testing to validate functional and non functional aspects of services including response time throughput error handling and security behavior for aviation integrations.
- Bring proven domain experience in airport operations encompassing passenger handling flight turnaround baggage operations and resource allocation to design realistic performance test scenarios.
- Exhibit solid understanding of airline business processes such as reservations ticketing check in boarding disruption management and loyalty programs to align non functional testing with actual use cases.
- Possess strong analytical abilities in interpreting performance metrics logs and traces enabling quick isolation of capacity constraints configuration issues and architectural limitations.
- Show capability to work effectively in a hybrid model managing time collaboration tools and documentation practices to maintain transparency and continuity across distributed teams.
- Maintain familiarity with industry standards and good practices related to non functional quality performance security and reliability in mission-critical transportation and travel systems.
