Job description

At Virtusa, every innovator has the potential to transform and lead in a digital world—but unlocking that potential takes more than technology; it takes a trusted partner who combines engineering excellence, creativity, and an AI-first mindset.

Together, we co-create solutions that help businesses grow faster, operate smarter, and make experiences better with technology.

Job Description

Responsibilities:

• Device & Hardware Testing: Conduct rigorous testing across multiple physical devices (iOS, Android tablets/phones, desktops, and Smart Home and Health Devices) to verify functionality, responsiveness, and UI layouts.
  
• Test Execution & Coverage: Develop, update, and execute comprehensive test plans, functional test cases, and exploratory test scenarios for new features and bug fixes.
  
• Compatibility Testing: Test applications across varying system versions, screen resolutions and hardware specs to identify device-specific issues.
  
• Defect Management: Identify, reproduce, and document detailed bug reports using tracking tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, Buganizer), including logs, steps to reproduce, screenshots, and video recordings.
  
• Regression & Sanity Testing: Perform thorough regression cycles before production releases to ensure core functionality remains stable.
  
• Internationalization Testing: Validate that application architecture supports multi-locale enablement without code modification (e.g., Unicode/UTF-8 support, string externalization, hard coded string detection, bi- directional text like RTL, variable expansion, and locale-aware sorting/filtering)
  
• Localization Testing: Verify translated UI elements across multiple languages for accuracy, context, and formatting compliance (e.g., date/time formats, currency symbols, address layouts, dynamic pluralization, and text truncation/wrap issues).
  
• Pseudo-Localization: Conduct pseudo-localization builds during early development cycles to catch hard coded strings, layout clipping, and character rendering errors early in the SDLC.
  
• Linguistic & UI Quality Verification: Review UI for visual integrity across different screen sizes when localized strings expand or shrink; coordinate linguistic reviews with native-speaking linguists or translation agencies.
  
• TMS & Localization Tooling: Manage translation asset workflows using Translation Management Systems (TMS) such as Smartling, Phrase, Transifex, or Lokalise, integrating them with code repositories and build pipeline
  

Requirements

• Internationalization and Localization Experience
  
• Device Testing: Smart Home and Health including smartwatches, health trackers, smart displays, speakers, home security cameras, and camera doorbells.
  
• Hands-on experience in localization and Internationalization testing with a primary focus on mobile and physical device testing.
  
• Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), and QA best practices.
  
• Ability to think & execute testing from a user’s perspective
  
• Technical i18n Knowledge: Strong understanding of character encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16), ICU standards, CLDR data, resource file formats (JSON, XML, .po, .strings, XLIFF), and Bidirectional (BiDi / RTL) layout handling.
  
• L10n Testing Best Practices: Hands-on experience identifying truncation, text overlap, line wrapping, and font rendering issues across various localized builds.
  
• OS & Tool Knowledge: Solid understanding of iOS (TestFlight, Xcode logs) and Android (ADB, Logcat, APK installation) ecosystems and debugging utilities.
  
• API Tools: Basic familiarity with tools like Charles Proxy, Fiddler, Postman to inspect and debug device issues.
  
• Core QA Skills: Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), and QA best practices.
  
• Basic understanding of test automation concepts or scripting to partner with automation engineers.
  
• Experience testing IoT devices, wearables, or specialized embedded systems.
  
• Familiarity with accessibility testing standards (WCAG, VoiceOver, TalkBack).
  
• Tooling Proficiency: Experience with Translation Management Systems (e.g., Smartling, Phrase, Crowdin, Transifex) and defect management platforms (Jira).
  
• Language Skills: Professional proficiency in English; fluency or native-level proficiency in additional languages is a strong plus.
  
• Core QA Expertise: Solid understanding of software testing methodologies, test planning, and manual/exploratory testing techniques.
  
• Methodologies: Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum development cycles and QA methodologies.
  
• Familiarity with regional regulatory, privacy, or cultural standards in key international markets (e.g., EMEA, APAC, LATAM).
