Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is 'Software Analyst' but the role is overwhelmingly QA/testing-focused (test plans, test cases, defect tracking, automation, UAT, regression testing), making 15-1253 the clear primary SOC. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the 'Software Analyst' title and some business-analysis framing in the mandatory qualifications.
Experience requirements are stated in months: 84 months (~7 years) for overall complex-project and QA experience, 60 months (~5 years) for test planning/defect tracking and tool-specific experience, and 36 months (~3 years) for Health and Human Services domain leadership. The overall years minimum is set to 7 (84 months), the highest stated overall requirement.
The 36-month Health and Human Services domain leadership requirement is a hard gate per the 'Requested Qualifications' section but names no specific technology or tool, so it is captured in the notes rather than as a skill entry.
The 84-month leadership requirement specifies 2+ years in a testing analyst leadership role; this is a role-level experience gate, not a named technology.
The Bachelor's degree requirement specifies 'Information Technology or related fields' and does not offer an equivalent-experience substitution, so it is treated as a hard degree gate.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): test planning, test case development.
