Department Overview

Building a World-Class Technology Team at TD
We can't afford to be boring. Neither can you. The scale and scope of what TD does may surprise you.

The rapid pace of change makes it a business imperative for us to be smart and open-minded in the way we think about technology.

TD's technology and business teams become more intertwined as new opportunities present themselves. This new era in banking does not equal boring. Not at TD, anyway.

Some of our testing activities may focus on system integration, business acceptance, performance, operability and deployment verification.

Quality Assurance activities, in contrast, give stakeholders information about product or service quality while allowing the business to appreciate and understand any implementation risks.

Many Testing & QA Experts could be involved in end-to-end delivery of testing, or more focused on a specific discipline.
