Confidential, Sterling, VA

Senior Software Engineer

Environment: Java, J2EE, Jboss, Hibernate, EJB, JSP, etc.

Responsibilities:

• Worked on a team to fix a J2EE replacement of a php implementation of a DNS management portal serving many hundreds of customers with extremely high volume websites and highly distributed web architectures.
• The J2EE implementation was written over a 2 year span with almost no oversight and as such was not ready to replace the php system that was currently serving their clients.
• My job was to assist in slowly migrating the Smart Client front end coupled with a very poorly designed J2EE back end, to a more standard model view controller 2 architecture and ultimately to a spring implementation.
• The environment was an agile development environment complete with daily scrum’s and bi-weekly sprints.
• We developed from user stories and had a very well managed development environment that utilized code reviews and other activities to ensure a highly effective software development and delivery process.
• The key technologies used were Java, Eclipse, Oracle, SQL, Jboss, EJB’s, tomcat, Servlets, JSP, and SmartClient just to name a few.

Confidential, Rockville, MD

Senior Software Engineer

Environment: JAVA, Struts2, Hibernate, JSP

Responsibilities:

• Served as the test lead (1 lead and 3 testers for this project) for the company’s flagship cobranded product for the 2007 and 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Nevada.
• The product was a media player that utilized spatial navigation to navigate an exceedingly large amount of media metadata metadata (60,000 mp3 files, 10,000 video files, and 50,000 photos). The testing was mostly manual and the test plan, cases and execution information was maintained in Quality Center.
• Wrote release notes for the executive staff. Used Excel to chart the progress of the application across test cycles, bug migration, and test execution statistics.
• These were a part of the reports submitted to the executive staff as well.
• I took over the maintenance of the company’s automated test suite, written mostly in Python with parts in Java and C++. The product being tested was the company’s media player that worked with a Freespace remote that served as a pointer based remote used to spatially navigate reams of media metadata (60,000 mp3 files, 10,000 video files, and 50,000 photos). The product being tested was coded in C++ and ran on a sigma board against the Linux operating system. The test software ran on Windows and connected to the board via Java with the actual test cases written in Python. The connection between python and java was via jython. The product had a debug server component to which Java actually connected. That component was the test window into the code. All the coding and test runs were done using Eclipse.
• I designed a new automated test framework when the decision was made to retire the debug server which handled all of the actions necessary to design, develop and execute test cases. All mouse actions and visual feedback were governed by the debug server so the new framework had to replicate all of this but in a much more restricted environment. The design included writing a low bandwidth mouse driver and other test utility executables designed to return the application to its initial state.
• The decision was made to get rid of the python to the end of having a homogenous system on the Windows side. This was simple since the python code was heavily depend ent on the debug server. JUnit was used to execute and record the test statistics. And a framegrabber was used to record the screenshots that were used to determine test passes or failures. All of this code was written in Java. This framework was used to write api (our companies own javascript extensions and zoomable user interface calls) tests as well as systems tests. Once the system was written I spent half of my time overseeing the writing of new test cases, writing some myself as well, and the other half making modifications and upgrades to the automated test system. I was the tech lead for a team of automated testers that numbered a maximum of 5 testers.
• I wrote a sound comparison component in Java to test the systems audio playback application.
• The tests would generate mouse clicks to navigate to a particular mp3 file and play it. The screens were recorded by the java software that read the framegrabber.
• The sound was recorded by the java sound api. The screens were compared using an image comparison algorithm based on an error vector. The recorded sounds (mp3’s) were compared with the known mp3 files using an algorithm based on Fourier analysis of the expected and actual mp3 ‘signals’.
• I used Struts 2 running on Tomcat 6 to design and implement a web application that would allow developers to give the automated test software the ip address of the sigma board running the application and then to choose which tests they wanted to execute.
• This allowed the programmers to test their changes prior to actually checking the code into source control.
• I integrated Autohotkey into the automated test framework as a means by which to test the company’s latest software product on Windows. The product is a browser named Kylo. My job was essentially to integrate tools by which to automate the testing of the product, into our existing framework. I reused most of the back end utility code. For the mouse clicks and screen captures though, I used Autohotkey. I designed and built out a Java Swing application to manage the entire Kylo testing process. Once the system was ready, the testers on the test team used it to record tests, tune tests (timing issues between clicks and screen renderings existed that had to be mitigated), build test suites, and execute tests and suites, and tune the test comparison standards.
