A day in the life
A typical day for an MES Test Engineer involves a blend of hands-on testing and collaborative activities. The day often begins by reviewing automated test results from overnight TOSCA runs and addressing any critical failures. Throughout the day, they execute test cases for new MES functionality, run performance tests using NeoLoad, and analyze the results. They work closely with developers to investigate and document defects, while maintaining test scripts and environments. Time is split between executing manual tests, enhancing automated test suites, and supporting UAT sessions with business users. The role requires adaptability as priorities can shift based on production needs and deployment schedules.
