Job
Description
Test design and execution: Design and implement performance test strategies and plans aligned with Appian development practices. Develop and implement performance test scripts, and scenarios. Execute load, stress, endurance, spike, and scalability tests using appropriate tools (e.g., Locust, JMeter). Design and prepare test data to support test requirements. Work with other scrum team members to define and review Acceptance Criteria for the given application. Build, maintain and improve test artifacts for rapid and efficient reuse by the Appian Customer Success Test capability. Monitoring and Metrics: Monitor system performance and resource utilization during tests against predefined benchmarks. Collect various metrics, such as response time, throughput, error rate, and resource usage. Performance Analysis and Reporting: Analyze test results, identify performance bottlenecks and work closely with developers, architects, and platform engineers to recommend optimizations. Perform analysis, research, and troubleshooting of performance defects and aid in the documentation of defects and anomalies. Ensure complete and timely reporting of bugs and test results, including metrics and proposed solutions, to project stakeholders. Troubleshooting and Resolution: Effectively and efficiently determine root causes of leaked defects. Support existing features by performing regression testing when bugs are resolved. Test Environment Management: Set up and maintain performance testing environments, integrating with CI/CD pipelines. Ensure the test environment accurately reflects the production environment. Continuous Improvement: Continuously learn and develop new skills and best practices to enhance the Appian Customer Success Performance Testing capability. Educate and mentor cross-functional teams on performance engineering principles in Appian low-code development. Qualifications 5+ years of relevant experience (e.g., Quality, Test, Performance, or Software Engineer) with at least 2 years specifically in performance testing roles. Strong hands-on experience testing APIs and web/mobile applications with performance testing tools, specially Locust and JMeter. Performance Testing Certifications (e.g., ISTQB Performance Testing (CT-PT) certification, HP LoadRunner Certification, Certified JMeter Engineer) preferred. Solid knowledge of CI/CD tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab). Education B.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field. Working Conditions Opportunity to work on enterprise-scale applications across different industries.
