WORK EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant
University of Minnesota (Dept. of Computer Science & Engg), Twin Cities MN
Place: Software Engineering Lab
Duration: 06/00 – 12/00
Project: Test framework for Object Oriented Systems Testing
Description: Development of a Test Framework (CASE tool) for automating the generation of test scripts and providing a generic template for test engineers to carry out object oriented system testing suited to a particular domain
Project: Behavioral model for GUI based system testing
Duration: 06/99-11/99
