Online interview
At SmartBear, we focus on your one priority that never changes: quality. We know delivering quality software over and over is complicated. So our tools are built to streamline your process while seamlessly working with the products you use – and will use. Whether it’s TestComplete, Swagger, Cucumber, ReadyAPI, Zephyr, or one of our other tools, we span from test automation, API lifecycle, collaboration, performance testing, test management, and more.
SmartBear is seeking a Quality Advocate to work on our Cucumber Studio product. Cucumber Studio is a collaboration platform for Behaviour Driven Development. It integrates with the open source Cucumber Open tool which is built by the same team at SmartBear. Cucumber Studio targets product owners, developers and testers.
CucumberStudio is comprised of several codebases: a main Ruby on Rails application, micro-frontends and API services. The main tech stack includes Ruby, JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, React, Ember.js.
The development team is applying Behaviour-Driven Development and Test-Driven Development. Those agile methodologies involve a lot of automated testing which helps us design and build our product, and protect it from future regressions. However, we know there is still room for improving the overall quality of what we deliver.
This is an exciting time for us
