The AI Teams at Agile Robots are looking for a Software Test Automation Intern (m/f/d), who will build automated tests that catch defects across our applications and services before they reach production.

Responsibilities

• UI Test Automation: Write and maintain automated browser tests using tools such as Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress.
• API Testing: Build automated checks for REST endpoints using tools such as Postman/Newman or REST Assured.
• CI Integration: Wire automated tests into CI pipelines such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI so failures surface before code merges.
• Test Suite Structuring: Organize test suites using frameworks such as Jest, Pytest, or JUnit.
• Data-Driven Testing: Parameterize tests so a single test case covers multiple input scenarios.
• Visual Regression Testing: Apply tools such as Percy or Applitools to catch unintended visual changes in the interface.

• Bug Reporting: Documents issues methodically, with clear reproduction steps, in bug reports and test documentation.

Beneficial Skills

• React Experience: Experience building or testing React applications, including component testing with tools such as React Testing Library.
• Full-Stack Awareness: Understanding of how frontend, backend, and database layers interact, to design more meaningful end-to-end tests.
• Root-Cause Debugging: Able to read and debug both frontend and backend code to trace a failure to its underlying cause.
• Backend Familiarity: Hands-on experience with Python or a backend framework such as Flask, Django, or Express.
