Role Definition
Client develops its own core business applications. From business acquisition through to servicing and beyond. Therefore, this role will focus on building in and ensuring quality within software development. This means ensuring that from the capture of requirements, through design, implementation and release the relevant questions are being asked, the right things are being checked against the requirements and that the specification is being executed using appropriate techniques to give confidence to stakeholders that the delivery of new functionality is up to the quality standards that are expected within Client. There will be a large technology component. Testing the underwriting, policy administration, claims management, CRM and finance systems, not to mention the online customer facing platforms, by hand is very inefficient. This role will have the responsibility to provide the right expertise and bring in suitable technology to incorporate the quality process into software development and enable faster feedback for increasing software development productivity.
