Assignment Description
At BD Kiestra, we design and build advanced laboratory automation systems that must operate reliably across a wide range of configurations. This makes comprehensive testing both complex and resource-intensive.
To support more efficient and scalable testing, this internship focuses on building a virtual test environment that works with our simulated systems and enables automated testing of software applications-without relying on physical hardware. You will be responsible for setting up the automated testing environment and developing automated test scripts to validate software functionality across different configurations.
Core Activities
- Design and implement an environment that does automatic testing on simulated BD Kiestra's integrated systems;
- Develop automated test scripts for various software applications;
- Integrate automated test scripts with existing instrument simulators;
- Integrate test automation tools with the CI/CD pipeline;
- Collaborate with developers and test engineers to ensure realistic simulation of hardware-software interactions.
