SOA Testing

• Worked on a sprint model spanning to 2 weeks, starting from sprint planning (working on estimating hours for UserStories), Test Case review, test execution & defect reporting, Acceptance demo to clients, update and review backlog US’s.
• Analyze test data dependency and will work on test data preparation
• Prepare test data using Confidential in-house tools, if external team’s dependency is not required.
• Prepare test cases in SOAP UI. Test cases are created with input values and assertions in response (as expected per requirement).
• Run test cases, upon deployment of Code and report to agile team on the test result.
• We have a Regression suite (maintained and updated after each sprint in QC).
• Used Rally application to track and manage task in agile projects.
• Worked in Eligibility module of Confidential customer retail experience. Objective of this module is to present customers (existing and new) with closest offers they can opt into.
• OfferManagementSystem (OFM) is the web service consumed by Eligibility. The operations more specific to Eligibility are QEO(Query Eligible Offer) and PEO(Present Eligible Offer). Testing of WebService using SOAP UI tool.
• Used DataSource test step for data driven testing, inputs can be taken from excel and can be looped in across rows to cover different input test data .
• Incorporated assertions in response XML.Worked with Contains, Not Contains and XPath Match assertions.
• Used Delay Test step to pause test execution for few seconds to avoid timeout issues.
• Using Conditional Go To Test step to control flow of test execution.
• Used DataSink Test Step to store values from the response xml
• Exporting test result and sharing with all stakeholders.
• Scanning through server logs for debugging purpose and analyze why the request is failing using putty utility.

Automation Testing/ Manual Testing

Responsibilities:

• Profound knowledge in Descriptive Programming and used it in challenging applications.
• In the course of migration of scripts from standalone QTP to online QC executable format, I created a program using VBScript and WSH, which will convert the offline QTP scripts to online QC Scripts .This automation effort, generated a Return On Investment (ROI) of $13322.88. This process improvement is very much appreciated by Confidential
