We are the Java Build Tools team: we are testing Maven and Gradle integration in IntelliJ IDEA. We deliver new features, maintain the existing integration, adopt new versions of external tools, and promote best practices across the product. As an intern, you’ll learn how to test in the IDE, collaborate closely with developers, and write test documentation (checklists, test cases). The final project is to design a comprehensive test plan and perform end-to-end testing of a dedicated feature, including research and a deep dive into the subject area.
