At Zhone Tech, I integrated Smartbits’ DLL in test automation so variety of products can be
tested up to their max DnSpeed - HTGap is manipulated to support different bps data pushing.
Decreased test time on high volume products while high quality requirement is sustained.
The maintenance of the test code is simplified via encoding the test steps into an Access
Database, thus allowing test code changes to be incorporated easily via just adding records to
test database instead of the time consuming code compilation.
Acted as host and provided tours to Company Customers advancing customer satisfaction.
