Test Automation Engineer

Summary

DXC Technology helps global companies and public sector organizations run mission-critical systems, modernize IT, optimize data architectures, and ensure security and scalability across cloud environments. The Test Automation Engineer will develop and maintain UFT-based automated testing for PeopleSoft HCM, support functional and regression testing, analyze failures, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve enterprise quality engineering practices.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, maintain, and execute automated test scripts supporting PeopleSoft HCM enhancements, defect fixes, releases, patching, and production support activities
• Build scalable, reusable, and maintainable UFT-based automation assets, including shared functions, libraries, object repositories, parameterized components, and data-driven scripts
• Develop supporting scripts to enhance automation execution, including test data management, environment setup, validation, and result verification
• Automate functional, regression, integration, interface, and end-to-end testing across PeopleSoft HCM modules, batch processes, reports, security roles, and system integrations
• Implement robust test logic for synchronization, exception handling, checkpoints, validations, and recovery scenarios to improve execution reliability and reduce false failures
• Analyze automated test execution results, logs, and backend data to identify defects and distinguish between script and application issues
• Perform root cause analysis, documenting findings, reproduction steps, and recommended solutions for development and stakeholder teams
• Collaborate with developers, QA testers, business analysts, and support teams to identify automation opportunities and align test coverage with release priorities
• Maintain and continuously improve automated regression suites, ensuring adherence to best practices for modularity, naming conventions, and data strategies
• Support test environment readiness, including validation of system access, configurations, test data, and dependencies required for successful execution
• Contribute to ongoing improvements in automation frameworks, execution standards, and quality engineering practices
• Develop or support automation using PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) as program needs evolve; assist in evaluating emerging tools such as Tricentis
• Maintain accurate automation documentation, execution reports, test evidence, and traceability artifacts to support auditability and release readiness
• Perform other duties as assigned

Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 3+ years of software QA and test automation experience supporting enterprise applications, with a strong track record of developing and maintaining automated test suites
• Hands-on expertise with OpenText UFT (Unified Functional Testing), including scripting, reusable components, object repository management, checkpoints, parameterization, and troubleshooting
• Experience automating testing for PeopleSoft HCM or similar enterprise systems, including online transactions, interfaces, batch processing, reporting, and end-to-end workflows
• Ability to develop and maintain supporting scripts that enhance automation execution, including data handling, validation, reporting, and framework efficiency
• Experience in analyzing test failures, reviewing logs, validating expected results, and supporting structured defect identification and retesting
• Working knowledge of SQL or query-based validation for backend data verification
• U.S. Citizenship is required
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance
• Experience building scalable automation frameworks and reusable assets to support enterprise-level regression testing
• Strong understanding of UFT automation best practices, including modular design, descriptive programming, synchronization strategies, recovery scenarios, and maintainable scripting standards
• Experience with PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) for automating business processes
• Familiarity with PeopleTools components, including Process Scheduler, Integration Broker, queries, reporting, and security testing
• Exposure to Tricentis tools (e.g., Tosca, qTest) for future-state automation or test management capabilities
• Experience supporting automation across releases, patches, PUM updates, and tax/regulatory updates, including regression impact analysis
• Experience with defect tracking, test evidence management, and automated execution reporting in Agile or similar environments
• Prior experience supporting federal or DoD programs or working in secured environments
• Relevant certifications such as ISTQB, UFT certification, or equivalent QA/automation credentials
