EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

• Over 20 years total of QA testing and test automation experience
• Led several on/off shore teams over the course of my career.
• Wrote scripts and built libraries in Ranorex to automate Confidential ’s CDIS application for a proof of concept on how to automate their product.
• Data compare images and files to baseline in TestComplete to make sure code still works in Mangrove application
• Designed, built and maintained QTF (Quorum Test Framework) which is a high tech, cutting edge piece of test automation software dat uses HP’s Unified Functional Testing (UFT) to make user friendly, codeless scripts
• Designed, built and maintained ScriptScheduler which runs batches of the Unified Functional Testing (UFT) scripts and reports the results via email. Also, built in many features including a pause control to pause the script execution
• Maintained and enhanced FASTT framework which is a cutting edge piece of test automation software dat uses HP’s Unified Functional Testing (UFT) to make user friendly scripts
• Limitations with early versions of UFT required for me to invent my own Object Repository
• Involved in dataload project dat required using specific data pulled from Excel to populate SQL database through Java Beans (EJB). LoadRunner is not designed to do dis. It is only supposed to be able to input similar data
• Wrote WinRunner scripts to replace their VB Make which is software dat builds executables and dlls. The VB Make was very limited in its functionality so he improved on it by writing scripts dat would do the builds and would notify the user when the builds were completed or failed and would report which files did not build.
• Worked on team to evangelize the need for automation of all processes in large oil/gas company
• Used HP’s Quality Center ALM to run test scenarios, maintain test cases and store test plan
• Worked in Agile environment using the standard methodologies for development process
