Automation/Performance Engineer

Confidential, Chantilly, VA

Responsibilities:

• Tested environments that provided a mechanism to tune the system and user experience prior to testing in a more fully integrated environment. Then used the same mechanisms with as many real systems as possible. Test goals for these environments were the same.
• Tested environments purely based on functional acceptance tests. Using the load generators drove the load within acceptable thresholds.
• Tested several environments independently under load, and the concurrently to insure they still operate properly.

• Used MUMPS to determine the rules generated for data access to patient records based on the level of access for each VA site. Each facility provides different interface based on access level.
• Used Page Object to interact with the objects within the test code. This removed the amount of code duplication and reduced the burden of making changes at several places.
• Manually tested the interface for test and development environments to ensure consistent performance.
• Used network capture tools to determine network traffic and verify data points to ensure validity.
• Used Watir-Webdriver API for accessing page elements as an interface to WebDriver. This allowed one common Watir tool for all WebDriver supported browser: IE, Firefox, Chrome, HtmlUnit Browser.

• Helped establish UI performance goals for user experience in the eHMP reslease.
• Work closely with developers, professional services team and product managers to define the testing methodology required for application development in a reliable and scalable environment.
• Responsible for integration testing with several External Interfaces
• Perform load tests to validate system performance and stability
• Perform root cause analysis of performance issues and suggest corrective actions
• Oversee system performance lifecycle and identify key metrics for performance improvements
• Executed testing on both Web Front end and back end systems.
• Ability to test at an API level such as Web Services, JMS Queue.
