Project name : WAFL CPE Automation

Client : NetApp

Duration : Nov 2008 to Dec 2009

Team Size : 3

Description

The Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) is a file system that supports

large,high-performance RAID arrays, quick restarts without lengthy

consistency checks in the event of a crash or power failure, and growing

the filesystem size quickly. It was designed by NetApp for use in its

storage appliances.

WAFL supports for both a Unix-style file and directory model for

NFS clients and a Microsoft Windows-style file and directory model

for CIFS clients. WAFL also supports both security models, including a mode

where different files on the same volume can have different security

attributes attached to them. Unix can use either access control lists (ACL)

or a simple bitmask, whereas the more recent Windows model is based on

access control lists. This feature make it possible to write a file to a

CIFS type of networked filesystem and access it later via NFS from a Unix

workstation.

Roles and Responsibilities

. Automation using Perl scripting language for verifying the data

storage capabilities of storage devices .

. Designed, Developed and Executed set of test cases to validate the

functionality of the feature.

. Test Data is prepared against Functional Specification.

Project Name : USB Plug n' Play

Client : Hewlett- Packard

Duration : Nov 2007 to Oct 2008

Team Size : 8

Description

USB Plug n Play is one of the most promising projects of current LaserJet

printers provided by Hewlett-Packard. Current LaserJet products provide

several Host USB ports that allow users to attach USB storage devices.

These storage devices must be installed before the printer is powered on

for the firmware to properly mount the file system. . In current products,

removing storage devices is also problematic.

This project ensures that the user is able to install the USB storage

devices after power on as well as allow users to remove file system devices

without requiring them to turn the printer off. Enterprise users are

demanding solutions for secure and mobile printing. Features such as walk-

up printing, USB certification, print-from and scan-to will require the

firmware to support dynamic mounting of FAT 16/32 file systems. This

project has been built around all these requirements to check the

suitability.

Roles and Responsibilities

. Analyzed business requirements, use case documents, functional specs.

. Involved in Test Environment set up, Installation and configuration of

the test setup.

. Designed, Developed and Executed set of test cases to validate the

functionality of the feature.

. Test Data is prepared against Functional Specification.

. Reviewed the Test Cases/Data prepared by the other teammates for other

modules.

. Identified and designed the test cases for functional automation purpose.

. Updation of reports and defect logging.

. Creation and updation of PDMR reports.

. Leading the testing activities and assigning the tasks properly for

achieving the deadlines.

. Mentoring the New joiners in the Project for faster ramp up in the

testing.
