Definition working student Working students are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis. This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week. Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.
Your location Located about an hour’s drive north of Munich, Manching is an up-and-coming market town that offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Here, you can enjoy the quality of life in the countryside while the pleasures of near-by cities are still within easy reach.

• Opportunity to participate in the Generation Airbus Community to expand your own network.
Your tasks and responsibilities • Checking the scope and code of the tool and the already existing tests as a baseline for discussion and required depth of test coverage.
• Checking the requirements defined as Jira tickets of the tool and discuss potential unclear formulations as well as the scope of testing.
• Choosing requirements to test within a one-week time horizon.
• Implementing test cases within the defined scope (i.e., automatized, repeated, checking edge conditions, checking correct and incorrect user handling,...).
• Incorporating the test cases in the continuous integration pipeline, executing it, and checking the results.
• Documenting the outcome of the tests (i.e., results, limitation, bugs, potential improvements) within the tool’s documentation and reviewing the implemented test cases, discussion of improvements, and providing deliverables on a weekly basis.
