Tester

Project overview

EXTERNAL CONSULTANT CURRENTLY HOLDS THE POSITION.

Background for the assistance

Helsenorge is continuously developed, with management of existing services and introduction of new ones. We now need one (1) experienced tester for our product-oriented solution team. The tester will, together with the team, work to ensure the quality of our cross-platform solutions, both during the development phase and in connection with the onboarding of new actors.

In the last couple of years, we have worked on functionality on Helsenorge for citizens to:

Personnel security for critical positions

Reports from PST, NSM, and the e-service from 2026 describe increased geopolitical tension and mention, among other things, that the intelligence threat has increased. Norsk helsenett manages many critical values, on its own behalf and on behalf of the health administration. These values are of interest to several of the threat actors mentioned in the reports, especially state actors explicitly mentioned by PST. NHN handles the intelligence threat by strengthening personnel security in all phases of both employment and contracting relationships.

This means that for assignments involving access to our critical values, special security requirements regarding citizenship and verification of education and employment may apply.

The assistance to be performed falls under critical personnel, so we have set strict but necessary requirements for the offered consultants.

NHN will inform that we (the client) reserve the right to verify work experience/education (as stated in the offer), i.e., verify the content of the submitted CV. If this becomes relevant, Semac will perform the verification on behalf of NHN.

Such verification will only be performed on the candidate(s) nominated. It is reserved that verification of the CV must be approved before signing the contract.

The assistance to be performed

The tester shall, in collaboration with the test manager and product owners, contribute to the planning and execution of the test process until approval.

• get efficient mapping, treatment, and follow-up.
• keep track of their health contacts and activities.
• find information about health-related rights.
• book appointments and have digital dialogue via Helsenorge
• view selected test results
• manage access and representation regarding health information and health-related activities.
• get help to stay healthy through digital tools

Responsibilities

The test resource will have a central role in the product team. The tester reports to the internal test manager, or product owner, who works closely with the development supplier.

Other tasks may arise during the performance of the assistance. The client may also use the consultant in other delivery teams if the Client deems it appropriate.

It is emphasized that the consultant's employer is considered the lessor according to the Working Environment Act.
