Master thesis worker - Test Automation

Scania is undergoing a transformation from being a leading supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to providing complete and sustainable transport solutions. Together with TRATON and our sister brands MAN, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, and International, we are working to shape the future of mobility with innovative and environmentally conscious solutions. Our values - customer first, respect, team spirit, responsibility, and elimination of waste - are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we are at the forefront of creating a sustainable future.

Scania has positioned itself as one of the market leaders in sustainable transport, partly thanks to its modular product design approach, which is supported by tools such as CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE. To secure these tools' stability, data integrity, and user experience, a continuous but labour-intensive quality assurance process is in place. Currently, UI-based black-box system and end-to-end test cases managed in Jira are being automated using Tricentis Tosca to reduce the manual portion of the process.

Role summary

This thesis work should evaluate how test automation could be combined with agentic AI to identify bottlenecks and facilitate workflows for test-case generation, refinement, automation preparation, and its review.

Jira/Zephyr, Tricentis Tosca, MCP servers, APIs, and automation repositories may be evaluated as possible parts of the solution landscape.

• Automate test case generation

• Increase the efficiency of test case automation

• Implement new workflows aimed at increasing software quality

Goals

• Map the current testing and automation workflow and pinpoint bottlenecks suitable for agentic support.

• Evaluate agentic workflows for test-case generation, improvement, automation planning, and review.

• Explore agent setups, tool integrations, and MCP/API-based workflows.

• Compare approaches before recommending a tool, architecture, or implementation direction.

Expected output

• Bottleneck analysis with prioritised use cases for agentic test automation.

• Comparison of relevant tools, agent setups, and integration patterns.

• Proof of concept showing one or more feasible agentic test automation workflows.

• Recommendation for next steps based on evaluation results.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with software testing, test-case design, and test automation concepts.

• Scripting/programming knowledge, e.g. Python or similar.

• Ability to navigate APIs, MCP-based integrations, system integrations, and structured test data.

• Awareness of agent harnesses, tool-using agents, and current agentic development patterns.

• Previous hands-on experimentation with agent-based tools, automation agents, or similar AI-assisted workflows.

Academic Background

Relevant master-level education in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science and AI, Machine Learning, or Master of Science in Engineering (Civilingenjör) with a software, AI, automation or data-oriented specialisation.
