PROFESSIONAL EXPEIRENCE

Confidential, Charlotte

Performance Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Performance Testing of middleware applications for Community Banking Technology Banking Space.
• Supported Middleware section of performance testing, automated teller machines, internal Wells Fargo banking center applications.
• Overall supported 4 apps, 6 Enterprise releases and 8 AIR releases over the duration of 18 months.
• Responsibilities included but not limited to - Requirements gathering NFR, preparing test plan, volumetric refresh, execution, defect triages, result analysis, bottleneck identification and performance tuning/recommendations with the help of Engineering team.
• Service based testing. Stubs/Responders by using EDS framework integrated in checkpoints of code - used to mimic backend during non-availability of SORs. (backends)
• Tests the performance with scaling and all the new codes changes, updated functionality, new/updated services WSDLs and independent and integrated/enterprise releases
• Involved in meetings with Functional System Design Review of applications, their scope, impacted clients and other dependencies.
• This project uses HP Performance Center 12.53 web application, and VU Gen and Analysis standalone applications to develop script and analyze the results.
• Site scope configuration for servers - profiles prepared, performance metrics defined and linked to performance center test scenarios.
• As part of Continuous Integration using Jenkins - started working as POC for the team to automate the deployment, run the scenarios, creating SLAs and reporting.
• Requirement analysis - getting the updated messages from QA team, SLAs with respect to response times
• Prepared volumetric analysis with respect to middleware applications by taking production reports for 30 days and taking due care to get peak volume per hour and scaling back to performance environment.
• Session details not taken in account as it is middleware apps.
• Test Strategizing and Test Planning
• Test script creation and execution with C scripting
• Test result analysis
• Preparation of Performance Impact Analysis document which includes summary as well as detailed test results details and defect summary per Enterprise release or Integrated release - a single document for all performance tests conducted covering all the test suites planned in the Test plan.
• Project reporting, work allocation and distribution, work on analyzing the thread dumps, heap dump analysis.
• Working closely with QA team, Test environment team and development team.
• Supported the database migration from legacy system to next gen platform by designing performance test cases pertaining to cater needs of verifying golden gate replication, data sync using creation and updation scenarios.
• Helped in creation of 50k records in DB and verifying to match the production volume in DB and then running the regression mix of messages to obtain the application internal time required to process for inserts and subsequent fetches. This is to make sure we get the right response times when we have 10k records in DB vs having production no. of records and then doing a read in DB.
• Helped application tuning of task processors that process the internal forms. Tweaked the max idle connections and other settings to enhance faster processing of tasks and improving the wait time for tasks to get picked overall.
