Test Automation Infrastructure:

. To support Agile Testing, Designed and Built Test Automation Framework

using TestNG, Selenium Remotecontrol, that has been integrated into the

Continuous Integration environment (CruiseControl) using Maven. Key

features of this framework are:

o Data driven test automation framework designed around the

principles of single point maintenance, equivalence class

partitioning and scalability

o Provides early feedback on not only the build status, but also

the quality and functionality and hence catch bugs early in the

development cycle

o End-to-end automation of build deployment, installation,

configuration and smoke & regression test execution on the QA

test rigs

o The implementation of this framework solution has provided

significant savings in time, 75% reduction in time to provide

feedback (on build,install,configure & smoke test) to the

development team on the quality of build

o Smoke tests (includes backend and UI automation test cases, sql

queries for database verification, system health checks etc) are

executed after installation

o The Automated Smoke tests are executed on the hourly builds and

feedback is provided to the team via an email, along with build

and smoke test results, test rig information, failures etc

o The automated regression test suite is executed on the daily

build systems using the same framework

o Allows to effectively add test automation to increase the

regression test coverage

o Documented team standards for selenium based testing and

developed a test library to facilitate ease of implementing

selenium tests

. Ongoing maintenance of the existing automation framework through

additions and modifications of the shared function libraries and test

harness, as required, and the automation of manual test cases to expand

the scope of our automation effort

. Lead QA team through identification of test areas to improve automation

coverage, development and maintenance of these test suites with the

changing requirements & features

. Developed an automation project plan and task list to assign automation

tasks and measure progress. Streamline complex framework specification

for easier implementation by the automation team

. Designed, developed and implemented a multitude of automated (TestNG test

classes, Powershell for Active Directory, Perl, Shell scripting) and

manual tests for Installation, Integration, Smoke, Functional,

Compatibility, Database and Regression tests

. Currently focusing on providing a solution for enhancing the component

test case coverage by working closely with the Development team

QA Activities :

. Implemented Agile QA Process for the team, the key features of which are:

o Close collaboration with the Business and Development team to

gather the use cases/user stories and start testing early in the

development life cycle

o Lead the development of test scenarios/acceptance test plans based

on the use cases identified

o Implemented Continuous Integration Build process with the Build

Acceptance Testing (smoke testing) integrated into the process.

Worked with a contract Build Engineer to setup this framework.

o The implementation of this framework solution has provided

significant savings in time - upto 75% to provide feedback to the

development team on the quality of build

o Mentor the team to adopt agile testing methodologies, iterative and

exploratory test strategies and automation development(both

functional & whitebox), etc

o Manage Defects using JIRA and track them to closure and

verification

. Architect the QA environment for each testing sprint, which involves

working with the IT group to setup and configure servers of the QA test

rigs for Integration and Functional testing

. Manage and provision virtual machine instances and virtual server hosts

in a Vmware Infrastructure 3 environment for setting up the Desktone

appliance nodes, configure virtual networks in the QA datacenters, Setup

Active Directory for QA hosting environment and internal network along

with Group Policies, Configure Monitoring Software - Nagios

. Participate in production team meetings to review schedules and identify

potential risks that can impact project plans, and propose solutions to

deliver projects on-time

. Prepare Traceability Matrix to map the Test Scenarios and Test cases with

requirements and to ensure the complete test coverage

. Training, Managing and Coordinating the Offshore Testing Team in India.

Traveled to offshore site to train the team to adopt Agile testing

methodologies
