Internship: Implement Monkey test tools on Altea Inventory functionality (45502)

Description de l'offre

Major Responsibilities:

Team description
Inventory Availability Calculation team is responsible for providing advanced availability calculation algorithms for Altea inventory airlines. Aim is to provide the right availability at the right person at the right time by taking into account the full context of the request. Additionally, we maintain some decision support tools describing the way the availability is computed on a given request.
 
Main Responsibilities
Amadeus is looking to enhance its quality assurance processes throughout its products.
The intern would participate in analyzing existing inventory and availability calculation functionalities, choosing the ones that could benefit more from Monkey Testing methodology and work on a tool to generate testing scripts and implement them.
What is Monkey testing methodology?
Monkey testing is a software testing technique in which the testing is performed on the system under test randomly. The Input data that is used to test are also generated randomly and keyed into the system. This type of testing should be automated and simple to launch. In fact, there are 2 types of monkey testing, one is called “smart monkey” and the other is much more dumb called “stupid monkey” and both do randomness.
Throughout the internship period, the trainee should begin by help the team to implement a stupid monkey and then try to enhance it by getting more functional knowledge of the Availability and Inventory features, so that at the end of the internship he/she gets a “smarter monkey” able to detect some core functional issues. All in all, “dumb monkeys” are used to detect bugs like UI crashes… whereas “smart monkeys” are used to detect much more specific functional issues, keeping in mind that “smart monkey” testing will never replace the “Gorilla*” testing we do today.
This internship is full of challenges, functional-wise, quality-wise and implementation-wise. These knowledge should be acquired at the end of the internship period.
 
* Gorilla testing is a technique in which repetitive Manual Testing process, which a tester would have done several times before, is done again to test the robustness of the system. Also called non-regression tests

Requirements:

Knowledge on algorithms, scripting, coding and software validation process would be a bonus.
The trainee should have good analytical and interpersonal skills because he will be communicating with many different person in many different teams.
