Systems Tester

Systems Testers test the integrity, functionality, and behaviour of computer software and apps. They create test plans and write test test scripts, as well as use automated test software applications.

As a Systems and QA Tester you’ll be ensuring your organisation’s software applications perform perfectly and will document defects, system errors and bugs. You’ll need business writing skills to produce systems documentation, technical reports and operational guides.
