EXPERIENCE:
Dec 2005 - present
Senior SQA Engineer
Axway (via acquisition of Tumbleweed) (Redwood City, CA)
. Ran load, stress, performance, benchmark, scalability and capacity
planning tests for Secure Transport Server (managed file transfer server
via SSH, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP/FTPS, AS2) The Server is Java based and uses
MySQL DB to store info about the file transfer status and the files it
selves and runs on Windows, Red Hat, SUSE, AIX and Solaris and has Apache
Tomcat Web UI. Collected and analyzed memory, CPU and other system
resources usage. Measured and analyzed throughput for various data
profiles and Server settings. Developed and ran programs to simulate load
on the Servers using LoadRunner, OpenSTA, Perl and shell scripts.
. Ran functional and load, stress, performance, benchmark, scalability and
capacity planning tests for MailGate Server (spam, virus blocking mail
server). The Server is Java based and uses MySQL DB to store data and
runs on Windows, Red Hat, and SUSE.
. Performed manual and automated testing of MFT Server (Mail based MFT
Server (Java based) capable of scanning e-mails for spam, viruses, HIPAA,
PCI compliances and transferring/offloading huge (2GB) files/attachments
to MySQL or Oracle DB) using Java and TestNG.
. Performed manual and automated testing of VA Server (optimized digital
certificates processing server using OCSP and SCVP protocols) using Java,
Selenium and TestNG. The Server runs on Windows, Red Hat, SUSE and
Solaris and has Apache Web Admin UI. Ran load, stress, performance,
scalability tests for VA Server. Performed tuning of TCP/IP settings of
OS and VA Server to determine settings needed to achieve best performance
depending on a customer usage. Wrote shell and Perl scripts to simulate
the load with various types of requests.
. Performed manual testing of a custom plugin used for checking of digital
certificate status used for certificate based authentication on various
Web Servers: Apache, IIS, BEA WebLogic, Oracle iPlanet, Sun Java.
Installed and configured the above servers for SSL with client
certificate authentication.
