Department Overview

Software QA at Avigilon Alta is the quality function behind our cloud-managed access control and video security platform products trusted by enterprise customers to secure their people sites and operations. The team partners with 8
product engineering teams to ensure every release meets the reliability bar our customers depend on owning test strategy automation release validation and defect prevention end-to-end.

We operate on an Automation First model. Our Playwright/TypeScript web automation suite is wired directly into CI/CD and we invest heavily in modern tooling AI-assisted test generation self-healing locators and visual regression
so coverage scales with product growth rather than headcount. That leverage frees the team to spend human judgment where it matters most: exploratory testing acceptance validation on high-risk features and the customer-facing
flows where automation has the lowest ROI.
