Lead Performance Analyst

Project Description Web Application: Load test is to verify that

the firewall can efficiently and effectively handle the traffic

that is generated over an hour period. Testing will simulate load

of 2000 Vusers, various websites randomly visited by Vusers, the

delay time is acceptable. These settings improved the load time on

web pages, and browsing speed increased, as well as throughput and

average hits per second.

. Created the Test Plan for the Network Management, Wool and Web

Filtering projects.

. Creating the Vuser scripts and designing the scenarios for various

tests like Volume, Stress and Endurance Tests using LoadRunner.

. Created all projects in Quality Center.

. Created all users for each project in Quality Center.

. Created Custom fields in Quality Center for Defects tracking menus.

. Responsible for the test cycle of all software, hardware, and various

network performance services

. Work closely with the project managers, system administrators, and

development teams during the development, test, and launch phases of

the software development and release cycle
