Support Engineers

Welcome to the section dedicated to Support Engineers! Here, we’ll explore the roles and responsibilities of support engineers in the low-code testing landscape on the Power Platform. Let’s dive into their interests, oversight, and the importance of automated testing.

Interests and Oversight

As a Support Engineer, your primary focus is on ensuring the quality and scalability of low-code solutions across the organization. You play a crucial role in maintaining and supporting these solutions, ensuring they meet the required standards and can be effectively scaled. Your responsibilities include:

  • Ownership of Low-Code Solutions: Taking ownership of low-code solutions to ensure they are reliable, maintainable, and scalable.
  • Quality Assurance: Implementing best practices for testing and quality assurance to ensure that low-code solutions meet the required standards.
  • Issue Resolution: Identifying and resolving issues with low-code solutions, ensuring they continue to function as intended and meet user needs.

Your oversight extends to ensuring that the Power Platform solutions are integrated with existing IT systems and processes, providing a cohesive approach to both low-code and code-first development.

The Need for Automated Testing

Automated testing is a vital tool for Support Engineers. It helps in:

  • Efficiency: Automated tests can be run quickly and repeatedly, saving time and reducing the manual effort required for testing.
  • Consistency: Automated tests provide consistent results, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring that tests are performed the same way every time.
  • Early Detection: Automated tests can catch issues early in the development process, allowing for quicker fixes and reducing the impact on the final product.
  • Scalability: Automated testing can easily scale to accommodate larger projects and more complex testing scenarios, making it an essential tool for Support Engineers.

By embracing automated testing, you can ensure that the Power Platform solutions are robust, reliable, and ready for deployment. This not only enhances the quality of the solutions but also contributes to the overall success of the organization.
