Full Description
Role Summary We are looking for a Guidewire PolicyCenter Automation Engineer with 4–6 years of experience to design, develop, enhance, and maintain scalable test automation solutions for Guidewire PolicyCenter and its integrations. The role will focus on increasing regression coverage, reducing manual testing effort, improving automation reliability, and enabling continuous testing within Client’s Agile/DevOps delivery pipelines.
Key Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain robust automated tests for Guidewire PolicyCenter business workflows. Automate critical PolicyCenter scenarios across the policy lifecycle, including submission, quoting, binding, issuance, policy changes, renewals, cancellations, reinstatements, and other applicable transactions. Develop automation coverage for product configuration, underwriting rules, rating-related workflows, forms/documents, and policy transactions, where applicable. Analyze existing manual regression suites and identify high-value automation candidates based on business criticality, risk, repeatability, and regression frequency. Build reusable, maintainable, and scalable automation components, utilities, and test suites. Develop and maintain Guidewire UI automation using Selenium and/or Guidewire Testing (GT), as applicable to the program. Automate UI, functional, regression, integration, and API/service-level testing for PolicyCenter. Validate PolicyCenter integrations with upstream/downstream systems through appropriate API, service, database, and end-to-end automation. Enhance existing automation frameworks to improve reliability, reusability, maintainability, execution speed, and stability. Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and faster feedback. Analyze automation failures and differentiate between application defects, automation-script issues, environment problems, integration failures, and test-data issues. Manage automation test data and dependencies while adhering to applicable masked/synthetic-data requirements. Maintain automation coding standards, reusable libraries, documentation, execution evidence, and reporting. Collaborate closely with PolicyCenter functional SMEs, developers, business analysts, testers, and Test Leads to ensure automation covers business-critical scenarios. Participate in code reviews and continuously improve automation engineering standards and practices. Evaluate approved AI/GenAI-assisted testing accelerators through controlled PoCs where applicable. Ensure AI-generated tests, automation code, and artifacts undergo appropriate human review and validation before adoption.
Must-Have Skills Strong hands-on experience in Guidewire PolicyCenter testing and test automation. Strong understanding of Guidewire PolicyCenter business processes and policy lifecycle workflows.
