Wat houdt deze vacature in?
Short summary
Customer communication is a two-way street for KBC. Every month, we process hundreds of thousands of documents submitted by our customers using advanced tools and AI integrations. This makes our team a vital link between customers and internal stakeholders.
One of our core applications acts as the glue between all these different tools. The goal of this internship project is to further develop test automation within this application. This is essential to improve the quality and reliability of software implementations, detect issues early in the development cycle, and increase overall efficiency. Within our broader IT roadmap, test automation plays a key role in enabling the safe and scalable rollout of new features.
Detailed description
The application is built using a modular architecture, where each module (microservice) is responsible for a specific functionality, often including integrations with external systems or internal platforms.
As part of this internship, you will analyze each module to identify and document its various integrations. This includes mapping out the technical details and limitations of each integration to a sufficient level of detail, enabling well-informed decisions about the most suitable test automation approach per module.
You will also contribute to defining and implementing a standardized approach to test automation across all modules. This consistency is key to ensuring long-term maintainability, scalability, and ease of onboarding for future developers and testers.
