Job Description
System Test team is responsible for performing multi-tier stress, system, and performance tests, utilizing large-scale, high load/volume, concurrent simulation tools, to emulate real world enterprise DB usage scenarios, in order to detect product defects and architectural limitations before they get released to customers. These simulations are conducted in a lab environment consisting of hundreds of servers, to mimic end-to-end high stress scenarios, involving complex DB designs and configurations, concurrent workload/query development, and boundary/destructive testing. The current focus is primarily on high-end enterprise customer use-case scenarios, involving very large & extreme dimensions of testing.
As a member of this group, you will learn and test the latest Oracle DB features as they are designed (19c and beyond) and gain first-hand experiences in managing/tuning/debugging VLDBs, in a simulated real-world production/cloud system. You will be fully responsible for designing, implementing, maintaining, and executing test plans, test suites/scripts, and test methodologies that enforce exhaustive testing of all assigned cloud and on-prem software areas, to ensure highest product quality by exposing defects, identifying regressions, and verifying resolutions.
To help with the overall productivity of this group, you may develop tools and applications to automate test flow and executions within a framework that provides utilities for remote job execution and result checking/reporting. You would be asked to maintain this dynamic environment consisting of test programs, drivers, procedures, systems, and documentation on all Oracle software features and releases to be tested. Last but not least, you will log and track product defects in bugs and collaborate with the development teams to resolve them.
