Core Mobile Tech in Scope

• Ionic (Angular/React/Vue frontend), Capacitor/Cordova plugin ecosystem and bridge behavior (JS native), WebView rendering (WKWebView) nuances, and offline/online hybrid flows.

• iOS (Swift) basics needed for blackbox/graybox validation: view lifecycle, networking, push notifications, background modes, Keychain, and deep links/universal links.

• Plugin Testing: validating Capacitor/Cordova plugins (Camera, Geolocation, Push, Filesystem, InApp Purchases, Biometric/Auth), permission prompts, and error states.

• Build & Packaging Awareness: Xcode schemes, provisioning profiles, signing, TestFlight distributions; Podfile/SPM dependencies for iOS; understanding how Web assets are bundled in Ionic builds.

• Strong grounding in test strategy, test plans, riskbased testing, functional and nonfunctional coverage (performance, reliability, security, accessibility).

• (Java/TypeScript/Python) for crossplatform E2E on hybrid apps.

• (if ReactNative is used in parts) and Charles/Proxyman for traffic inspection & mocks.

• Proficiency with Xcode Instruments (crash logs, memory, energy), Console.app, device syslogs, and Safari Web Inspector for WKWebView.

• Roles & Responsibilities

• Own test strategy and coverage for features implemented with Ionic + Capacitor/Cordova and native Swift components.

  • Design, write, and maintain test cases, checklists, and automation for smoke/regression/performance suites.

  • Validate hybrid native bridges: ensure Capacitor/Cordova plugins behave consistently across iOS versions/devices; verify permission flows, fallbacks, and error handling.

  • Execute builds on Simulators & Real Devices; triage issues with reproducible steps, logs, and videos; drive quick rootcause with developers (frontend, native, backend).

  • Set up and maintain QA environments, test data, mocks/stubs; collaborate with DevOps to wire suites into CI/CD with clear pass/fail signals.

  • Gate releases: run release checklists, TestFlight validation, app upgrade paths, and storesubmission readiness (screenshots, privacy labels, review notes).

  • Champion quality metrics (defect escape rate, flaky test rate, runtime, coverage) and continuously improve the test pyramid (component integration E2E).

  • Security & Privacy checks in collaboration with AppSec (TLS, cert pinning behavior if applicable, PII handling, clipboard/pasteboard policies, ATS, tracking transparency).

  • test plans, decisions, edge cases, and known limitations; provide clear defect reports with logs, HAR files, and device context.
