PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential - Warren, NJ

Sr. Software Quality Assurance Lead Tester

Responsibilities:

• I coordinate and work in Agile/Dev Ops mode starting from grooming of User Stories, writing test plans, execution of test cases, logging of defects, closure of defects and certifying the product to be released in production. Attend DTP (Daily Touch Point) calls with Business and all the stake holders for the project.
• Extensive use of JIRA in following Epics and User Stories and logging defects in JIRA and taking it through defect life cycle. Brain storm on story grooming calls and giving inputs as SME from the testing side. Interact with Business/Analysts/Development and UAT on these calls. During Story Grooming sessions carefully review the acceptance criteria for each groomed story. Call out risks well ahead of time and mitigate them. Provide feedback to development and BA on customer experience. I successfully deliver 3-4 projects every release in a fast paced environment where we have 24 major releases in a year. In 2017 Confidential had 12 major and 12 minor release. As a part of DevOps CI (Continuous Integration/CD (Continuous Development) model, worked on small projects and did parallel automation using existing Selenium Frame Work. Applied minor changes using existing Base Pages to update the code for small enhancements using web elements. Prepare test data sheet and upload in Tapsium.
• Review results, verify logs and debug failures. Provide Kibana logs and other details to the developer and attach it to the defect also. Regularly used automation scripts for regression to make our testing robust. Provide Production Night Support when we implement the new SW in production. I perform testing on production systems on release night after the new SW is implemented and ensure that mission critical functionality is working correctly. Visit Confidential stores after every release to monitor system hickups in the field. Also periodically work with field reps to see what action items can be brought back to IT for improved performance of the system. I have been very actively involved in process improvement within our testing team, Test case writing standardization, defining roles and responsibilities of Release Lead, Knowledge Transfer sessions are to name a few. I have been Release Lead for several releases and in this role provided daily testing status to management, worked with ST/UAT on defect management, escalations when needed, coordinated the project alignment in a release, timely SW delivery to System Test according to schedule etc. In this role I was also responsible for production implementation activities such as making sure everyones logins are working in prod, required data set up to do the testing. I have received several SPOT LIGHT s for my outstanding performance.
