YOUR MISSION

• Based on functional specifications or discussions with functional analysts upstream of the project, proposes solutions or challenges the proposed solutions and provides the corresponding workload estimates.

• Based on functional specifications, drafts and/or completes the technical specifications using the provided document templates.

In particular, ensures that the quality assurance checks implemented in the ABAP Test Cockpit are executed and that all necessary corrections are made to achieve compliance.

• During development, ensures in particular that the code is as modular as possible, that existing code libraries are reused whenever appropriate, and that developments are written using Object-Oriented ABAP (except where an agreed exception applies).

Identifies and communicates any specific points of attention that functional analysts should focus on during their own testing activities.

• May be required to perform tasks during the deployment of developed solutions to test, acceptance, or production environments. This may require work outside normal business hours.

• Analyzes reported defects (identified during test campaigns or in production incidents) and resolves them after consultation with the relevant functional analyst.
