PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Software Test Automation Engineer

Responsibilities:

• This framework enabled test scenario execution via action keyword scripts read from text files.
• Architecture included leveraging JSON files to automatically save baseline data for future regression testing.
• Page object specs were maintained in a text file library with Xpath and configurable bitmask to drive which DOM web element attributes were tested.
• Framework reported timing metrics of page load latency independently of Selenium's get attribute method. Output also displayed compared counts of web elements found versus searched. This enabled adjustment of the bitmask to omit searching for attributes when not found in the page.
• Scenario test script passed in a search string to choose which web element is used in the Selenium method, such as click, or send text. The search string could be found in any attribute of any of the found web elements. One example with a large union Xpath returned 229 independent web elements, each with several attributes. Each found attribute was automatically tested while the search string could direct which web element gets executed upon by the selenium method.
• Updated Selenium locators to match with product UI changes.
• Created a configurable build script capable of checking out multiple projects from Subversion, building, launching services and starting test suite.
