- Extension of existing Network Test Automation Framework.

- Includes the addition of test execution and collection and verification of results data for approx. 50 new test cases.

The existing Test Automation Framework (TAF) includes the following tools :

1. Sigos - Test case execution

2. EEA - Signaling monitoring (control plane 5G NAS and Gc Diameter)

3. NetScount - Signaling monitoring (IMS control plane SIP and IMS diameter)

4. MFT Server - Billing data aggregator (collect of CDRs)

5. NetIQ Server - Reporting dashboard

- Target network : Packet Core functions and related XDR generation and distribution.

- Nature of work packages : Design, configure and test the backlog of required test cases to the TAF tools.

Primary Responsibilities :

- Developing, extending, modifying in-house software, automation frameworks and APIs.

- Develop and configure capabilities to tools : Sigos, EEA, NetScount, MFT Server, NetIQ Server as required.

- Assist in creating and updating software solution documentation.

- Proven ability to coordinate across technology, architecture, and delivery teams to ensure successful project outcomes.

Knowledge And Experience :

- A relevant bachelor's degree or Tertiary qualifications in IT/Telecommunications/Computer Science.

- A minimum of 5 years of experience in software development.
