EXPERIENCE:

SDET Consultant

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Writing automated tests that make GET API calls to get Deprecation & Withdrawl alert status for projects and verifying the results against expected results(from database).
• Writing test automation in C# that make GET, POST, PUT & DELETE requests to the web API used by launch studio admin tool and verify the JSON results from the API are as expected. (User stories to test API for ICS Sections, ICS Features, ICS Feature Prerequisites)
• Writing SQL database queries to check appropriate table entries are created/updated/deleted in the database when the API is called.
• Creating pull requests and checking in code using GIT(both command line and visual studio integrated)
• Fixed config issues so tests could run properly against different environments based on selected project setting Dev/QA/Staging 1/Staging 2/Local.
• Running Dev code locally in debug mode and running automated tests against localhost to enable troubleshooting test failures to find root cause of failures.
• Creating new bugs, verifying bugs fixed.
• Running manual regression and smoke tests on various environments QA, staging 1, staging 2 & production.
• Created manual testcases in MTM for testing release of Launch Studio tool on Jan 28th to support new core specifications 5.1. Worked on testing new features in layers MAP, CSCS, LL, HCI, GAP and its corresponding feature prerequisites logic.
• Created data driven automated UI tests using Selenium to test verification of logic for feature prerequisites for GAP layer. GAP layer is one of the complicated areas that was more prone to regressions and hence worked on developing automated tests to catch regressions faster. Tests login to Launch Studio via Chrome browser and go through the process of creating a new qualification project and selecting layers and ICS features and running Consistency Checker(CC) and verifying if the appropriate CC error is triggered.
