Professional Experience

Aeroteck (bioM rieux) HAZELWOOD, Missouri

SYSTEM VERIFICATION Engineer august 2013- JANUARY 2014

. Read and reviewed documentation on the current processes and

procedures

. Learned and used a new software program, TestTrack, to review, update,

assign test cases or other documents associated with the project and

several other functions

. Worked on the Simon project, Operation System for the virturo

integrated PC, from various stages in the life cycle process

. Tested several test cases, noting, the "redlines", observations, or

deviations. When completed, changed the resulting state either, to

passed or failed and assigned it to the appropriate person for the

next stage in the life cycle process

. Updated several test cases that either had redlines, failed, or was

affected by changes or new specifications added to the Virtuo PC

Operating System Requirements document that defines all the

requirements for the project. Released the test cases to the

appropriate person and was in charge of getting them approved in order

to move to the next step in the processes. I also updated several test

cases to make them more efficient and easier to read

. Created several Excel documents, one document listed all the test

cases that failed, along with the reason why it failed and other

helpful information in order to fix the problems with the test.

Another document listed all the test cases that needed to be run for

the next set of testing and noted their current condition, such as,

approved, ready for review, or draft

. Reviewed past and current protocols, along with completion reports, in

order to understand how to create them for next release

. Went through the PRD (Product Requirement Document) and observed the

Validation &Verification testing field to check and document the

status of the requirement and the progress

. Updated the Vituro machines, including re-imaging and implementing

email capabilities

. Trouble shooting equipment, such as, the Vituro machine and the alert

tower, by testing certain elements in order to recreate a scenario

that causes a fail in order to document and fix the problem
