Context
Our client has a key role in the realisation of the energy transition. Decarbonisation, decentralization, internationalisation & digitalisation are forcing us to change faster than ever before. The way we work will have to transform significantly. Several business transformation projects are ongoing, and more projects are in the pipe for the coming months / years.
Most of these transformation projects contain a (large) digital component, as the new way of working often has to be supported by digital tools. To ensure the quality of these tools, testing is required at different levels.
In addition to traditional testing, as we work more and more agile, test automation is increasingly important in order to allow the required regression testing to manage multiple releases.
