PICS TEST@pyuxhh.UUCP (PICS TEST) (01/25/84)
The PICS/DCPR System Test Group of the Central Services
Organization, in South Plainfield NJ, invites applications
for a position at the Member of Technical Staff level.
PICS/DCPR refers to a family of large IMS inventory control
systems that run on IBM mainframes. The System Test Group
develops and performs regression tests of these systems
using Unix*-based tools (on VAX 11/780 level machines) to
simulate terminal sessions. System Test is also responsible
for the tools and the technology base that support the
testing strategy.
The position will involve :
- Developing new tools based upon our current testing
language, as well as working on the possible
development of new testing systems/languages. For
example, it is expected that PC hardware and/or
mechanized voice recognition techniques will be useful
in automated testing of new PICS/DCPR products.
- Maintaining and improving our locally developed tools
and testing language. This may involve trouble-shooting
at many levels : within the tools, the testing
language, the communications environment, or Unix
itself.
- Developing tests of PICS/DCPR products. This will
enhance understanding of issues involved in testing,
enabling the applicant to better design/maintain tools.
The ideal candidate will have :
- An advanced degree in Computer Science or Electrical
Engineering.
- Experience with the Unix operating system and the C
programming language.
- Knowledge of current communications hardware/software
protocols and tradeoffs.
- Experience with micro-computers (especially the IBM
PC/3270).
- Some knowledge of IBM/IMS, as well as TSO.
Candidates with some combination of the above qualifications
are encouraged to apply.
