Test Analyst

A Test Analyst examines the results of simulations and tests on information technology software, programs, equipment and networks. You might look for problem issues or malfunctions or find ways to improve performance. Test Analysts examine testing results and make recommendations for changes or improvements.

Test Analysts should have excellent technical skills and strong problem solving abilities. You’ll need to have good analytical skills and keen attention to detail. It’s important you can communicate clearly and work as part of a team. Test Analysts should be organised and able to prioritise their tasks when needed.
