Work Experience

Client : Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 12/ 2016-Present

Project : Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC)

Role : QA Tester

Environment : Selenium, EDI, Windows 7, SQL Server, SQL.

Responsibilities:

The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program, managed jointly by TSA and the Coast Guard, will be the first program to move into the new consolidated effort. TWIC has enrolled more than 2.1 million transportation workers to date with the goal of providing secure access to port facilities and maritime vessels.

Currently, TSA manages several different programs to verify and manage identities for transportation workers at airports, including those who handle hazardous materials and support maritime facilities. The Accenture contract eventually will consolidate those into a single program which is known as Technology Infrastructure Modernization (TIM) Program. As a test engineer, my prime responsibility in the project is to execute automated testing on both Web Front end and back end systems and run test validations by importing Selenium Webdriver libraries on Java Code at various levels including DB validation, rules validation, logging validation, and UI validation Besides these, I also involved in working closely with developers, professional services team and product managers to define the automated testing components that will be used to validate requirements against developed software and to work with team members in adopting and learning test automation techniques .

Client : Maryland State Insurance Administration 03/2016-11/2016

Project : Enterprise Complaint Tracking System (ECTS)

Role : QA Tester

Environment : Selenium, EDI, Windows 7, SQL Server, SQL.

Responsibilities:

Maryland Insurance Administration recently decided to add online insurance complaint forms onto their existing website. The agency has created several forms that users can fill in to log their complaints. Multiple forms were created based on the subject areas. These subject areas include Contact Information, Insurance, Property & Casualty, Dental, and Medical Necessity. These forms were created using html. After the creation of these forms, there was a need to develop a thorough test process. I was given an opportunity to do an analysis of the different products available and recommend a cost effective tool. After evaluating several products, I recommended Selenium WebDriver as this is an open source product and can work with several open source languages: Python, Java, C#, Pearl, PHP and Ruby. The agency decided to implement python along with Selenium WebDriver. I am tasked to implement automated testing. After reviewing the requirements, along with the developed screens, I came up with a detailed Test Plan with several test cases and various test scenarios. I imported Selenium Webdriver libraries into python code which I wrote to automate the testing of several forms. These results were then compared with the actual results. Several discrepancies were discovered and were sent back to the developers for code fixes. This is an iterative approach and is an ongoing process between the developers and me. The agency is very pleased with this automated testing approach resulting in fewer testers.

Responsibilities:

I worked as part of a Scrum Development Team and/or as Agile Tester, conducted and effectively participated in sprint planning, task estimates, task sequencing, task assignments, sprint reviews and retrospectives. I also worked effectively to define testable user stories, especially acceptance criteria, with customer. Some of the other core responsibilities included documenting and reporting issues discovered during testing, and following up for resolution. I actively participated in collaborating with developers and business stakeholders to clarify requirements, especially in terms of testability, consistency, and completeness. The components which our testing team was responsible for included CTS which is a web based data collection and reporting system for Federal facilities mandated by Section 432 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007(EISA). Besides CTS our team was also responsible for testing the Project Tracking System which is a centralized repository for all project related information and activities. We had two teams to perform testing. The testing included both Automation and Manual testing. I was responsible for writing scripts and automating the testing process with the use of Selenium Webdriver.

Client : 1st Colonial Community Bank, 01/2013–11/2013

Project : Processing Personalized and customizable web application

Role : Selenium WebDriver Tester

Environment : Selenium, SQL, XML, Load runner 8.0, Windows

Responsibilities:

I worked as a QA tester at 1st Colonial Community Bank which had multiple web based applications. This was a large scale project dealing with modifications to online credit card application processing, maintaining customer information, online banking and online bill payment. The objective of the project was to enhance the user online experience by making the applications user friendly. My role was to review the requirements of the project, and automate the testing process. 1st Colonial Community Bank was using QTP and the goal was to convert QTP test scripts into Selenium Webdriver. I used Python as a language to invoke Selenium Webdriver to test the functionality of the applications. I was involved in all phases of the testing life cycle which covered creating Test plans, Test cases and execution of the Test scripts. I worked closely with the development team to resolve the defects and testability issues throughout Software Test Life Cycle. I performed tests to evaluate the performance, efficiency and security of the product. Another aspect of testing included testing of the broken links. Various functional areas were covered in the testing process such as account information, bill payment, transfers, wireless alerts, products, services, and Quick links. I was also responsible for writing SQL statements to check if the data integrity has been maintained. I also wrote SQL statements to test the integration between Application and Database. All testing was documented and stored in share point for tracking purposes.
