Project Overview
The Government of Alberta (GoA) has embarked on transforming the work of government to deliver simpler, more efficient, and better services for the citizens of Alberta, thereby ensuring that the needs of Albertans are effectively met in the digital age. The Province has a strategic role within government to drive efficiencies, innovation and modernization. The Digital Design and Delivery Division (DDD) is the Province’s new centre for digital delivery. It was established to maximize capability and confidence in modern digital practice by ensuring service quality and value through standards and controls. This includes utilizing human-centred design approaches together with agile methodology and modern data practices. DDD works in partnership with GoA ministries to deliver programs that better serve Albertans.
DDD requires up to seven (7) QA Automation Developers to work with DDD on service innovation, program review and digital transformation projects across the GoA. The QA Automation Developer(s) will work as part of cross-functional program review or product delivery teams. These teams, led by GoA product owners and DDD work collaboratively, and collectively participate in a full range of activities including field research, backlog definition and refinement, and sprint planning and execution. Digital transformation projects review the current state of services, identify future opportunities, and then deliver new services that are efficient, effective, and affordable.
QA Automation Developer(s) will be responsible for overseeing the quality in the delivery of digital services and ensuring that a team’s focus is on quality. A QA Automation Developer is typically responsible for creating test plans, test cases, and scenarios, identifying required test types, assets, and data environments and tools, and the creating automated test suites.

However, QA Automation Developer(s) may be required to work fewer or more hours depending on the nature and needs of their work, as directed by the Province.

• Support any initiatives regarding the use of re-usable testing components/suites, the creation of test databases or the use of AI during testing.
• Support a team in defining metrics for service quality:
o Contribute to and coordinate automated metrics collection; and
