Freelance Software Tester (Remote in Alberta, CA)

 

Hi there! We are Testlio, a global software testing company with its own freelance network. Our freelancers test apps from companies across the globe. Testlio is a great place for people who value the freedom and flexibility of remote work.

At the moment, we are looking for freelance software testers based in Alberta, Canada to join us in testing a popular wagering app. 

We have partnered with a wagering app who regularly updates their product every two weeks. This happens around 3:00 AM – 5 AM your local time, during low-traffic periods, which is why we are looking for testers who would be available during this time to perform smoke testing on iOS mobile.

Here are some examples of the tasks you’ll be asked to perform:

• Providing concise notes and evidence (screenshots / screen recordings if requested in the run).
• Launching the product on your available platform(s).
• Creating a consumer account on a wagering platform, which will include going through a KYC (know-your-customer) flow. Because this platform complies with Canadian regulations, you will be required to use your own legal information to register.
• Running through key wagering flows (for example: placing a wager, checking wager status, basic navigation, and other core actions defined in the run instructions).
• Capturing and reporting any functional issues, crashes, obvious UI defects, or blocking problems in the wagering flow.
