As one of the most rewarding aspects of working in that project is exposure to the huge variety of products in a very dynamic market, it also means that the biggest challenge is to gain an in depth understanding of these products in order to better serve the needs of clients today, and whatever the market will bring tomorrow. As the applications in scope are complex, testing defects are not necessarily an indication of a problem with the system. Therefore when defects are discovered during testing, the candidate will be able to perform an analysis to determine the appropriate cause of action before handing over to the development team.

In order to achieve this it is expected the person will quickly develop:

• understanding of the application architecture
