- A QA role focused on translating business requirements and functional analysis into structured, comprehensive test cases in the Back Office. The Calypso QA Analyst works closely with business analysts and functional leads to understand scope and system behavior, then builds the test case library that drives test execution. The role is execution-focused — the QA Analyst does not own the test strategy but is the key contributor to test case quality, coverage, and readiness across all Calypso test phases.
Analyze business requirements, functional specifications, and scope documents produced by the business and functional analysts
Translate requirements into structured, detailed test cases covering functional scenarios, edge cases, and negative paths
Build test cases for the full Calypso trade lifecycle: booking, amendment (economic and non-economic), cancellation, termination, roll-over, fixings, and corporate actions
Develop test cases for payment processing scenarios — including netting eligibility, gross vs net payment behaviour, and payment control validation
Create SWIFT message test cases per product and event type (MT103, MT202, MT300, MT320, MT518, MT541, MT543, MT900, MT910, MT940)
Write workflow test cases covering routing rules, queue behaviour, and end-to-end event flow through Calypso
Ensure every business requirement and in-scope scenario has at least one corresponding test case — maintain traceability
Define clear expected results and acceptance criteria for each test case
Execute functional test cases in Calypso UAT and test environments
Validate system behavior against expected results and raise defects for any discrepancies
Support regression test cycles — reviewing CATT output and validating automated results against business expectations
Retest resolved defects and confirm fixes do not introduce regressions
Participate in UAT alongside business users — providing test case guidance and supporting execution
Log defects clearly with reproducible steps, expected vs actual results, and supporting evidence
Triage defects with the functional analyst and technical team to assess severity and priority
Track defects through to resolution and confirm closure before sign-off
Collaboration & Documentation
Work closely with business analysts to clarify requirements and resolve ambiguities before writing test cases
Align test cases with the CATT Functional Analyst to avoid duplication and ensure automated and manual coverage complement each other
Maintain test case documentation throughout the project — version-controlled and up to date with scope changes
Contribute to test completion reports and sign-off packs at the end of each phase
