Test Engineer Integrated Planning & Forecasting

As a Test Engineer, 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. On a daily basis you will engage in frequent discussions with the business analysts, information analysts, domain solution architect and work closely with your teammates 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 possess 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. 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).

Team en context

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. One of our products/services 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 development is done by an external partner together with an internal team consisting of business analysts, architect, information analyst, test engineer, dev-ops engineer, product owner and application management.
