PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Lyve Minds, Cupertino, CA (Contract) 3/2014 – Now
Web App automation QA Engineer
Project: Responsible to manage an automation testing framework in Python and Selenium Web driver for testing web
application consists of web site, web portal, and web shop executed from OSX system.
• In charge to develop, execute, and analyze a complete process of automation testing using Python and
Selenium web driver framework with data driven method which are defined in text files. Log files are stored in text
format while test case results are reported in different formats: JSON for Python TestRail module to export to
TestRail server, embedded HTML for email body and HMTL file to attach in email. SMTP module for Python to be
used for sending emails to specified recipients.
The automation testing has following features:
- Cross browsers support: supporting Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and iExplorer.
- Cross platform support: supporting OSX, Windows, and Android mobiles.
- Different environments: local, remote (on same network), and cloud (Sauce Labs).
- Web pages can be captured and uploaded to Amazon S3 Cloud storage using Boto S3 Python API and
downloaded back to local test system for comparison purpose.
- Very flexible by passing parameters to the command lines and executed on different build environments:
development, testing, beta, and release.
• Use Python WebPY to create a web app server where any user may connect and request to execute any
specific test suites.
• Configure Cron Job to trigger the automation test daily.
RGB Networks, Sunnyvale, CA 5/2012 – 10/2013
Staff Software QA Engineer
Project: Managed an automation testing framework in Python for QA team and closely worked with hardware and
software teams to provide S/W test tools in Python to the remote testing Linux based multi IP video blade servers.
• In charge to manage and enhance a completed process end-to-end automation test tools where testing
framework developed based on Python to remotely communicate to the servers through XML-RPC or SNMP
interface protocols or indirectly using Selenium automated browsers frame work through a web-based application.
Test cases are configured on Excel format files and sent to the multi IP video streaming server, the linux base
server where multiple video outputs are captured to files and fed to a video analyzer tool to evaluate the
video/audio qualities, formats, and structures. Test results are updated to mySQL database and emailed to
specified recipients using SMTP protocol to a mail server.
• Provided additional test tools in Python to perform load tests, stress tests, power cycle tests, redundancy
test, and more using in-house CLI tools or available open source code apps.
• In charge to manage and enhance the BCT tools, a Bulk Configuration Tool written in Python and
executed under Windows environment that allows users to configure multiple MBR/IPTV grooming profiles from
an Excel template and import them to the multi-streaming IP video transcoding server.
• Manually debugged and analyzed the causes of failures and provided clear and concise project QA status
reports for the team, cross-functional partners, and management.
Intel, Folsom, CA 5/2011 – 5/2012
Validation Test Engineer (Contract)
Project: Responsible for all aspects of Graphics Driver Validation (emphasis on Media component) including (but not
limited to) test development, execution and debugging of the issues.
• Enhanced Lucas app, an Intel media test application with functions to validate the video decoding/encoding using
DirectX 11 Microsoft Media Foundation APIs’.
• Wrote test scripts (csv) with different configurations of TPL and PAR files to execute specific media test cases.
• Analyzed and filed sightings the failure of video decoding, video pre/post processing and content protection test
cases from PAVE (the automation validation test systems), debugged failured using DCN builds and/or WinDebug
(to debug driver) and Visual Remote Debugger (to remote debug Lucas test tool).
• Familiar with Intel test frameworks, test tools, and test procedure.
• Great knowledge writing test versions (TV), test suites (TS), and test requests(TR) to execute test from PAVE.
GlideTV, Sunnyvale, CA 2/2010 – 12/2010
SQA Engineer (Contract)
Project: Designed, executed tests manually, wrote script to automate the manual tests on a wireless navigator device and
its application, the Firefox based browser and What’sOn, the video streaming web.
• Designed and created strategies to performed manual and automation tests to test the functionalities of software
and to evaluate the contents, the performances, and the compatibilities of the streaming video data from the
server to local computer through the browsers with different complexities of bit rates, resolutions, aspect ratio,
motions, and etc…
• Wrote test suites and test scripts using SenseTalk, script language and EggPlant, an image-based cross-platform
automation test software tool on a host (Mac OS X platforms) to remote testing SUT clients, which can be either
Windows (windows XP, windows VISTA, or windows 7) or MAC OS X platforms.
MediaTek USA, Inc, San Jose, CA 6/2006 – 3/2009
(Formerly Nucore Technologies)
Software QA Engineer
Project: Worked with the digital image test team to develop the automation test tools for testing digital camera firmware.
• Wrote and executed detailed test plans and test cases for the testing of digital camera and target to function
coverage and statement coverage. Analyzed, identified, and confirmed the failures of the tests before they were
inserted into the bug tracking system
• Designed and programmed a windows-based automation test application with GUI written in C++ (using Microsoft
Visual C++) to test the new release firmware on the test device connected thru the serial communication port. Test
can be executed manually or automated by reading a pre-written text suite to perform a smoke test, functional
tests, regression tests, or specific tests. The output file is in HTML with a clear format that helps to analyze and
identify the problem quickly
• Designed, documented, deployed and managed tools to automate the build and release the firmware on Windows
and Linux environments. Tools wrote in Perl to perform a completed release package which checked out source
codes (from CVS or Perforce), built the binary files with different configurations, verified the results, transferred
the results to Windows based server and Linux based server, and generated the email (using SMTP) to different
software, hardware, sale, and QA groups.
• Worked and helped the firmware engineering team to debug and fix problems in application level.
• Closely coordinated with development teams to execute test cases for individual software components and for the
system as a whole.
