browser.

Reusable test cases and Automated Report were configured into Test Suites

Results were documented as List # of test cases

Following points were considered to justify the purpose of automation test.

Regression:

Upon completion of code and deploy, automated regression test cases execute.

Reduce time & cost of regression cycles

Reduce human error in regression testing

Project A: Next Generation Owner Experience-NGDOE

As GM has scheduled the 2.0 version upgrade of existing GMOC - web application ( https://my.gm.com ), I

actively involved in both versions; existing version 1.0 and upcoming version 2.0. As a team member, I

worked as QA Lead for Manual and Automation QA activities for GMOC2.0 application. In 2.0, I actively

led maintaining and formulating automation framework/script for regression test under QA and pre-prod

environments. Mainly my activities were focus on Setting up Pre-Prod Environment, Conduct

System/Integration Testing, Conduct Performance Test, Conduct User Acceptance Test (UAT) and

Iterative testing. Mainly focusing in 2.0 activities, daily health check to ascertain the maximum level of

uptime of 1.0 version was monitored along with other required activities such as break fix to regular

business needs performing QA activities.

GMOC is a customer face user interface to GM vehicles owner in North America to experience the vehicle

ownership run under Covisint platform consuming GIF database from TCS. Owner center portal helps GM

vehicle owners to heighten their awareness, engagement and enthusiasm with the capabilities and

services. This starts from the time of delivery and accessible throughout the ownership experience. OC is

a gateway to the customer’s digital ownership experience. Portal can be access by anybody as a guest or

GM vehicle owner by registering the portal adding the VIN with the OnStar account number associated.

GMOC portal facilitates the user to manage and monitor all possible vehicles’ activities electronically

remotely using PCs, tablet or smart phones from knowing about the vehicle, managing the service

records, scheduling and reviewing suggested maintenance, selecting the preferred dealer and controlling

the vehicle itself.
