Summer Semester 2025 - fixed-term for 3-6 months

 

To ensure consistently high quality despite increasingly shorter development cycles, automated tests at all levels are essential. A widely used tool in this area is Pytest, originally developed for unit testing in Python. However, due to its versatile extension capabilities, its application extends far beyond unit tests.

The goal of this project is to extend the existing Pytest-based test framework so that it also meets the specific requirements of integration and system tests. This includes, among other things, the subdivision of test cases into individual test steps and improved verification of test conditions.

 

YOUR TASKS:

  • You research and evaluate available plugins
  • You integrate the plugins into the test framework
  • You test the functionality of the plugins
  • You document the results of your work

 

YOUR PROFILE:

  • You are studying (Technical) Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a comparable degree program
  • You have programming skills in Python
  • Ideally, you have some experience with Pytest and software testing in general
  • You work independently and in a structured manner
  • You have a quick grasp of new concepts

 

YOUR APPLICATION:

  • We are looking forward to your online application
  • Sarah Disch
  • Job-ID 36401 
  • All applications will be treated confidentially

 

*At SICK, we see people, not gender. 

We put great emphasis on diversity, reject discrimination and do not think in categories such as gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, age or sexual identity.
