Role Overview
The Product Manager will lead and manage Tosca test automation as a shared capability across selected on-premise systems operating in secure environments.
The role is responsible for the Tosca automation strategy and roadmap, adoption priorities, stakeholder engagement, licence utilisation, implementation standards, governance, and measurable outcomes. The Product Manager will also lead a team of Software Quality Engineers (SQEs) to drive Tosca adoption and uplift testing capabilities across selected systems.
The role will work closely with project teams, vendors, and system owners to ensure the controlled and sustainable adoption of Tosca in alignment with HDB's quality, security, and governance requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and maintain the Tosca product roadmap, adoption priorities, and implementation approach in line with ISG quality objectives.
- Identify suitable systems, test scenarios, and regression areas where Tosca automation can deliver measurable value.
- Plan and manage the transition from manual testing to automation, with Tosca as the primary tool for priority systems.
- Evaluate alternative automation tools where they are better suited to specific technology stacks or testing requirements.
- Lead, manage, and coach a team of SQEs supporting Tosca adoption, automation implementation, testing capability uplift, and quality improvement.
- Track and report Tosca adoption, licence utilisation, automation coverage, benefits, risks, and recommendations to management and stakeholders.
- Establish Tosca usage standards, reusable automation assets, naming conventions, evidence capture practices, and governance checkpoints.
- Review test artefacts, automation assets, and evidence records to ensure they are reusable, maintainable, and aligned with automation objectives.
- Manage Tosca usage within secure environments, including setup constraints, access arrangements, and compliance with security protocols.
- Drive structured test design practices to improve automation readiness, including reusable test cases, test data requirements, and traceable expected results.
- Collaborate closely with HDB ISG QM to align Tosca adoption with organisational quality objectives.
- Provide regular progress, performance, risk, and outcome updates to management and key stakeholders.
