STB Lifecycle through Billing Systems (AMDOCS & CSG) : This is continuous testing for all new versions of Joint Venture Release firmware and upgrades to vendor STB’s and EPG’s (Channel Map’s) :

Business Requirement Documents forvAddition of MCard’s & subscriber owned and retail non-addressable STB’s, TV’s with / without MCards to both Billing system Inventories having different equipment types, to different HUBS on DAC & DNCS. Moving them through various stages of inventory and verifying that these appear on the DAC & DNCS headend controllers having basic services, status’s and resource authorizations. Created accounts on both billing systems, adding / pairing MCard’s and STB’s to the account. Checking the downstream and upstream dBmv and SNR levels on the diagnostic screens. Verified Firmware, Monitor application, Guide versions through STB diags, also verified Cable Modem IP’s, STB IP’s, CM Configuration file through Diags.

Verified Making Payments for purchases through billing systems including setting of credit limits. Switched headend controllers through Billing systems / manual modes.

RA (Resource Authorization) :

The primary delivery vehicle for resource authorization is to leverage existing billing rate codes to deliver appropriate sets of RA tiers to subscribed devices. In effect, resource authorizations are auth codes that can be appended to current billing rate codes that instruct the DAC/DNCS whether to enable or disable a video service, for example, the HD outputs of HD capable devices or DVR interface for DVR capable devices or AR-DVR for MoCA capable devices. Presently, Resource Authorization is a function enabled by the DAC in Motorola markets. By applying Resource Authorization In effect tier (RA tier 259) to an account, all default features or services enabled for a given firmware or platform are effectively disabled, and can then be selectively re-enabled by application of the required resource authorization code(s).The deployment of Resource Authorization will primarily involve back office changes in both the CSG and AMDOCS billing systems. The methodology of the change is different in the CSG and Amdocs billing systems and possibly varies market to market pending local implementation of billing system design and configuration.

Motorola Mcard Firm Upgrade :

Verified MCard firmware upgrade tests on Motorola Legacy STB’s, Samsung T2W STB’s Subscriber owned PAN TV& TIVO Cardio STB. Verified Headend interactions such as 1.Hunt and Lock on all 10 OOB frequencies, 2. Refresh sequences without interruption to subscriber experiences,

Verified for an MCard that has previously worked inRF-OOB modes:

1. On initial power up to tune to first OOB frequency and achieve a carrier lock.

2. if not tune to the next frequency in 2 seconds.

3. If locked successfully dwell on that frequency looking for valid EMM stream

Verified for an MCard that has previously worked on DSG mode :

1. On initial power up, Verified Host will tune to the channels defined in NTSC frequency table and forward DCDs found in the channels. MCard will evaluate the DCD for Client ID of type CA System ID in the ranges 0x0700-0x07FF or 0x4700-0x47ff, and the UCID list.

2. If a valid DSG Tunnel was not found in the DCD, Verified the Mcard will notify the Host for the Invalid DSG Channel status. This will prompt the Host to find another DSG Channel and possibly a new DCD.

3. If the forwarded DCD is valid, The downstream carrier lock is successful, the MCard should be able to receive control messages sent by the Controller to the Card through the CA tunnel. The MCARD will establish 2-way communication through the opening of socket flow.

Organization Comcast Communications Inc. West Chester PA. (Nov 2007 - May 2008)

Test Engineer

Projects : Grand Slam (Various Functionalities of the Legacy systems built into this application)

Tested the UI developed in both HTML & Java as well as the back end .Net & XML using SOAP and Mercury’s Service Test.

Comcast Communications is a Digital Communication Organization. Having Digital Voice(Xfinity Wireless), High speed Internet and Cable.

The Grand Slam application would integrate all the legacy systems under one application for the CAE (Customer Assistance Executive) to access a customer’s account and check the state of transmission health of the devices Cable Modem, mta and Emta (Motorola, Scientific Atlanta, RF and Thomson (Via Satellite)) for the account and rectify the problems encountered by the customers basing on the recommended corrective actions (Ping and Trace Route)

Provided by the data generated from Grand Slam Application.

In case the problems were not resolved by the RCA(Recommended Corrective Actions Software) the system was used to schedule a truck roll to the customers residence.

The application is CPNI compliant for the privacy and authentication of the customer. Tested both the UI developed in HTML & Java as well as the back end .Net & XML using SOAP and Mercury’s Service Test.

Project was developed using the Agile / Scrum Methodologies in a System Orient Architecture (SOA) having extensive and rapid interaction (Daily meetings, IM, Mail and Call) with the Project Managers, Stake holders, Development team, User community and Testing team as well

Created Requirements in the Quality Center and linked them to Test Cases.

Used Quality Center to track bugs, link them to test cases, log and prioritize according to impact on application.

Used SOAP UI 1.71 and Mercury Service Test Tools to test the web services from the back end.

Accessed the Oracle Database (Version 10g) with SQL Queries to extract test data.

Conducted discussions and Presentations in UAT to elicit business logic from actual user perspective (CAE’s).

Tested the Grand Slam User Interface for functionalities.

Logged and Tracked Defects in the Quality Center.

Enhanced Business logic in meetings for design review.

Performed Regression as well as Progression tests.

Updated the QA manger with timely updates on status of the projects.

Used STUB files to simulate the video and high speed internet testing.

Tested both back end and GUI

QTP was used for Automating Regression on modules deemed stable and robust.

Video On Demand (VOD)

This service contract will enable a CAE to view the parameters for the “Video on Demand” Health Check (QOS Quality of Service) functionality through Grand Slam. This service will be accessed from the Grand Slam application via an HTTPS SOAP request to the Comcast Enterprise Services Platform (ESP). Upon receipt of the request from the Grandlslam CAE, the end-to-end invocation and response to this service should occur in less than 4 seconds.

Video Channel Look Up

In the process of identifying and resolving a customer problem, the CAE uses the channel Lineup to capture what specific channels were out for the customer. Presumably if the same channel or range of channels was out for multiple users they could create an outage ticket. For example, if the customer states “I don’t have Discovery Channel”, the CAE would use the channel Lineup to determine that Discovery Channel is 53.

TIVO Health Check

This service will be accessed from the Grand Slam application via an HTTPS SOAP request to the Comcast Enterprise Services Platform (ESP). The check Health or the performHSIHealthCheck contract is triggered.Once the Health Check Result comes back from SCOUT, it will be examined by the boot file to crosscheck for a CM embedded within the STB.

If identified, the Health Check of the CM is done with respect to the thresholds in the document.

Perform a match up of the Class of service from the returns of the DOCSIS and DEMI service.

If there is mismatch, send the service levels from both DOCSIS and DEMI in the Health Check Result with a message “Mismatch of Class of Service” with appropriate condition ID.

If no mismatch, check for the IP address of the CM from the DOCSIS response.

If blank, send Health Check Result “IP address blank” with appropriate condition ID.

If 0.0.0.0, send Health Check Result “IP address is 0.0.0.0” with appropriate condition ID.

If present, trigger the SCOUT service for the SNMP walk response.

Trigger the SCOUT service for the DSG MIB’s (total filtered packets)

Send the SNMP walk result and DSG MIB’s to the UI.

Emta Modem Reset

This service will be accessed from the Grand Slam client application via an HTTPS SOAP request to the Comcast Enterprise Services Platform (ESP).

This service can also be accessed via IVR client application or any other client application, for example .NET client or simple Java client by using some kind of intermediary SOAP server (Axis or Xfire, etc). W-Security and HTTPS can be handled and configured locally at client level.

STB Hits

The CAE should be able to perform the different Hits(on the STB whose serial number is

Provided (Types of hits were (WRM, LWM, HIT, PAR, CCV, INT etc).Used STUB files to simulate testing of this contract.

Roll Modem

When the STB is reported as not working the CAE will roll a temporary modem number which takes out the original modem and replaces with a temporary modem to the customer. Helps perform the successful Roll of a Cable Modem in any particular market. Used STUB files to simulate testing of this contract.

Home Networking Tool

Enables the CAE to access the SVP Home Networking Tool through Grand Slam to check health(Signal Quality) conditions of the digital voice and internet connections

Historical Plots

Grand Slam implements a solution that will display the historical plot data currently used by the CAE during troubleshooting.

Set Top Box Health Checks

The Video Scout STB Health Service provides a physical layer of abstraction between the calling application and the low-level protocols used to retrieve health status from set top box (STB) devices. The service is wrapped with a selectable list of datasets that correspond to the Motorola STDC specification or a list of OIDs for the SA case

CDV (Xfinity Wireless) & HSI Health Checks

The makes health checks (Signal Quality) for the digital voice and high speed internet through the application via satellite.

Truck Roll Enhancements

CAE find that a customers problem is not solved online a truck is physically rolled to the customers home

Escalate Fix

The CAE is able to escalate the problem the customer is having through the application.
