As part of a large team of testers, you are responsible for testing many computers, printers and peripheral devices that will be used for Connect Care and will be tasked to run detailed test scripts in the Clinical Information System. You will need to work with clinicians to understand the particular function of devices in their associated care settings/scenarios, confirm the right scripts for the area, and then follow step-by-step instructions in order to provide a pass/fail result with comments.
