Professional Experience
SAP LABS, Bangalore, KR, India
Quality Associate (April 2010-March 2014)
Quality Specialist (April 2014), SAP Product lifecycle Management (PLM) Quality Assurance Team
Project Description:
The SAP Product Lifecycle Management (SAP PLM) web based application provides a 360-degree-support to process
and manufacturing industries – from the first product idea, through manufacturing to product service. SAP PLM
Recipe Management is one such solution that caters to various process industries by providing applications to create
and manage the master data.
Responsibilities:
• Performed functional, user acceptance and regression testing of several web based applications of SAP PLM
and PLM Recipe Management.
• Implemented diverse testing strategies such as message class testing, customized based testing, pair testing,
exploratory testing that yielded quality defects which helped improve the quality of the product.
• Reported maximum number of defects using some of the methodologies of exploratory testing in PLM RM
applications during the SAT phase. Presented methodologies in the entire organization which led to subsequent
adoption in standardized testing.
• Created and executed functional test cases and evaluated results to ensure accuracy and quality of the product.
• Created and Updated Test plans (including estimating and maintaining a testing schedule), bug documentation
and bug tracking.
• Developed automated test scripts using tools like ECATT and QTP. Mentored different groups on these tools.
• Automated testing of multiple releases of an application. Developed a structured design approach which
improved the efficiency of regression testing.
• Led the communication with developers to resolve defects and coordinated meetings for smooth transition
between development and testing team.
• Played a key role in knowledge transfer for a team of eight by conducting information sessions and providing
continuous functional and technical support to the team.
• Developed and implemented a process that helped in time reduction of 40% during automated regression
testing. Addressed several elements such as database impacts, software scenarios, negative testing, error/bug
retests and usability to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the process.
• Transitioned software development efforts to a test-driven development (TDD) process, which brought QA
testing in on the front-end of the development cycle resulting in gains in code quality, software functionality
and programmer productivity.
• Conducted formal and informal product design reviews throughout the software development lifecycle to
provide input on functional requirements, product designs, schedules and potential issues. Communicated
effectively with software design team - quickly gaining their respect and becoming a valued, “go-to” team
member on challenging test cases.
• Experienced working in a LEAN environment, attending daily scrum meetings and completing all reporting.
