Projects:
Testing of Net App Filers (08/2012) in Mindteck India limited
We are doing the testing on filer to check the filer are good quality.
Basically we are testing the OS which is DataOntap for maintaining quality
software on net app filer.We test the OS as well as the hardware so that
the customer gets a high quality product.We have good understanding how the
filers work.
Testing of NetApp Filers (08/2012) in HCL technologies-on site
Doing a thorough testing on HA (high availability) cluster of filers for
both manual and as well as automated scripts on filers of NetApp for High
Quality product to be achieved.Netapp one of the leading enterprise filers
(NAS boxes).NetApp boxes come with their own OS,memory.We test the OS as
well as the hardware so that the customer gets a high quality product.We
have good understanding how the filers work.
Testing of EMC-Iomega NAS boxes (06/2011) in HCL technologies
Network attached storage is a part of the network easy to store and share
data. It is an appliance just connects it to network and use it. We are
actual mainly dealing with boxes for home, small and medium business
companies. We are testing the device are good to -go without any problem
with strong QA. We have in-depth knowledge of NAS boxes and storage
concepts while performing these activities.
Worked on Linux operating system
Testing of DAS for HP (11/2010) in Mphasis
Basically DAS device are mainly and very easy to use and we are testing
these and software which are required for maintenance of these DAS like
update software's like PSP etc.
Worked on windows flavor operating system
Testing of RAID Controllers (07/2007) in Honeysoft Solutions
One of the business sources for Computer vendors is via AMC, to grow this
business; delivering right quality product will be the key focus area.
Now-a-days RAID is becoming more popular to meet increased data storage
requirement, as result of which, RAID is becoming an important component
inside each computer system. So Honey soft ensures these RAID controller
cards are good to-go by performing an in-house validation before placing
them inside the computer systems. We extensively understand RAID concepts
and other storage concepts while performing these activities.
Responsibilities:
Writing Test Cases and Execution of Test Cases
Understanding Test Plan and create Test Setup accordingly
Perform Load and Stress Testing using IO Meter tool
Bug reporting and Tracking
Thin Client Implementation Using Virtualization in Honeysoft
Solutions:VMware
One of the main problems that a organisation or a company faces is that
when there is increase in the employee count is the investment in the
infrastructure that is the hardware. In replacement to this we can have
server which has large resources to be divided in separate virtual
machines(same as normal desktop pc) minus the hardware, so in
virtualisation we are providing each employee a pc and all the data has
been stored in server so there in an increase in the security. This can be
done using virtualization. A single server and small cheap device called
thin client is all which is needed (monitor,mouse,and keyboard are
connected to thin client and this is connected to server using a LAN) So
the investment cost is considerably reduced. This project is simulated in
our company using small set-up of 2 computer and server.
Academic Projects:
Reduction of string losses in photovoltaic modules using ANOVA
technique
ANOVA technique is a calculation to determine to theoretically
calculate the errors.
We tried to increase the soldering temperature,
Change the composition of soldering material to increase the efficiency
and decrease the losses by adding 2% silver.
Project report: String losses get reduced when mixture of soldering
gets changed.
String losses get reduced when temperature of
soldering gets increased.
String losses are reduced to 3%.
Efficiency of the whole system increased.
Achievements:
1) Got Best Innovator Award for 2011 third quarter in HCL technologies
2) Got great appreciation for debugging an important problem in my
first company
