Scrum Master

Responsibilities:

• Facilitate sprint planning, daily scrums, retrospectives, stakeholder meetings, and software demonstrations.
• Protect development team from outside distractions, impediments or team conflicts, and maintain focus on product backlog and project timeline.
• Work closely with project owner in backlog management and continuous delivery of features.
• Educate and reinforce scrum methodology and agile framework to team members and key stakeholders.
• Direct and lead development team from project initiation through delivery of final product.
• Scripting was performed in a complex way by integrating ODBC drivers with SQL analyzers to make load runner connect and work with 10g databases.
• Test data management was the biggest challenge. “CMS data preparatory” tool was created in Perl script together with java and Excel to fully automate the data preparation part for CMS.
• Retrieved results from each of the test tools after every test and analyzed the results. We developed several customized tools using excel macro and Perl scripting to condition the results from raw data. Performance graphs were generated using them.

Tools: HP Load Runner v9.52, QC, JIRA, Quality center

Responsibilities:

• The biggest challenge in scripting was the replication of the xml files transfer using Java Protocol by embedding the XML file within the java script and sending it across the servers, thus eliminating the usage of web servers and JSP pages.
• Initiation of the Buynet client from HP performance center was another challenge, which was broken by developing an exclusive batch job, which can be called from LR scripts when executed from HP Load generators
