Test Harness Deployment Framework (THDF) System: Designed and implemented highly scalable

WinRunner-based, project-independent test automation architecture to automate IGT s online gaming

product offerings.

The THDF system was used to automate both black box and grey-box product manual testing

requirements, and all manual regression test scripts;

Initiated WinRunner to-QTP migration project; completed porting 50% of the THDF system to QTP

Test Harness Implementations: Developed three (3) separate test harnesses under the THDF system,

using WinRunner, JMeter / SoapUI (web services) and GTS (Java-based in-house tool).

Core Platform (RVB) Automated Flash-based game client, web-based Casino platform and

administrative tools for configuring player accounts, site administration, and security

Remote Game Server (RGS) Automated a web-based online gaming delivery platform for Casino

Operators; automated the web-based site administration tool.

Casino Game Analytics (CGA) - Automated an Oracle-based business analytics and reporting tool

accounts, site administration, and security

Remote Game Server (RGS) A web-based online game delivery platform for Casino Operators

and a web-based site administration tool. Tested the log file mechanism and error message

verification system

Developed the project test artifacts including test plans and test scripts, test matrixes, software

entrance/exit criteria, general release guidelines and bug reporting content and conventions

Wrote the project plans, schedules and estimates for managing and tracking the QA team testing effort

throughout the QA process; conducted coverage gap analysis and performed root cause determination

Developed project test coverage metrics and analytics used to provide status to upper management;

write project cost analysis and ROI documentation

Conducted business requirements and functional specifications reviews ( ambiguity reviews ) to ensure

that the business, QA and engineering teams were in sync on product requirements and expectations

Provided mentoring to other QA team members in test script / test case design, bug reporting standards,

regression testing procedures and test automation design and implementation

Created a peer review process to improve the quality of test scripts / test cases and to facilitate cross-

training between the respective team members

11/02-10/05 KAISER PERMENANTE WALNUT CREEK, CA

Automation Architect

Automation Framework and Test API: Developed an automation framework and test harness APIs in

WinRunner used to automate eProcurement, a web-based order purchasing, requisition and fulfillment

system, and, HIPAA-EDI, a 837/835 XML verification project.

Created a universal test driver/execution functions, standard function libraries and data capture (user

ids, GUI data, etc.) and parsing routines used to retrieve test data from xls and MS Access DB tables. The

test harness was data-driven, re-useable and scalable and could be applied to any other Kaiser project.

Developed the Host (mainframe) connection function libraries used to login and run the required host

application jobs (JCL), and, launch an in-house application to dynamically create the test conditions

necessary to initiate HIPAA-EDI test transactions.

Offshore Deployment: The automation framework was used as the foundation for deploying automated

test suites for Kaiser s offshore project deployment efforts; eProcurement was successfully migrated

offshore to India. The eProcurement regression tests were executed exclusively from India for 2 years.
