What is Development and Test?
The Development and Test job family at UCL is made up of a variety of different teams and functions working closely together to deliver technical solutions to business requirements.
Colleagues working in this area are based both in central services and in academic units. When in academic unit’s development and implementation is rarely an entire role and can be part of a job that covers other areas (such as strategy and architecture).
Routine activities within this job family range from detailed requirements capture and technical design, through to build, internal and external testing, integration and go-live implementation. In addition, we have teams that provide specialist (3rd level) support to respond to more complex customer issues as they arise across the estate.
Key activities are around systems development (e.g. systems design, software programming, database design, testing and application delivery/release management), user experience (e.g. ongoing user engagement and requirements capture, data and customer satisfaction analysis, process and workflow design) and installation & integration (e.g. systems integration within wider estate, hardware architecture and management, High Performance Computing including software configuration, and systems installation/decommissioning).
