Project: My school tasks System
Environment: PHP, SOL database, Manual Testing

My School tasks system has developed a simple tool called “projects.” This tool allows students to
create a schedule or timeline for a long term assignment. The student can identify each step that
needs to be completed and assign it a corresponding date by which it must be completed. Useful files
and documents can be uploaded to the project too. There is a “status” field where the step can be
marked “complete” or “incomplete” or “still working.” The projects tool even has feature to
accommodate group work on a long term assignment. The term “resource” refers to other group
members who may be added to the project. This is a helpful tool for an assignment in which the
group members are dividing up responsibilities. As each piece is completed, the student marks it so.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Involved in JAD sessions to formulate test cases and test plans
• Involved in requirement gathering and understand the Business requirements
• Formulating a test strategy that will be in place for testing during the testing cycle and creating a feedback loop to developers to speed up development process
• Translating requirements to test scenarios, writing manual scripts to test the system
• Involved in generating and preparing the Data for executing System Testing
• Leading the effort to do security testing for the product
• Attended meetings with QA team (Scrum) and update the status reports of bugs as the company goes with Agile Methodology.
• Reported numerous problems of various severity levels.
• Tested cross browser and operating system compatibility (IE 7/8, Fire Fox, Windows XP/NT).

Project: Event Management System

Environment: .NET, SQL database, Manual Testing

The Event Management System (EMS) was developed to streamline and track the various events conducted by Life Challenge International, a non-profit organization for drug and alcohol recovery program in order to raise funds for the smooth functioning of the organization. The EMS software captures the Event details like Event demographics, ticketing information, volunteer and task assignment etc. The EMS software allows for adding a new event, modifying an existing one. The EMS software allows for mapping an event to the various tasks and subtasks. The EMS software allows for mapping a task to the various volunteers. The EMS software maintains a volunteer database, task and subtask database. The EMS software generates standard reports for the use of the Event Manager to track the Event progress and updates at any point in time. The EMS software has the capability to produce several ad-hoc/on demand reports. The EMS software was developed in a. NET environment.

Project: Library Management System

The aim of this project was to develop a system that can handle & manage the activities involved in a library in an efficient and reliable way. Less managing personnel and easy searching availability and user profile managing are major goals in this project. The objective was to develop a system that can replace the manual library managing system. Develop a database which stores user details & book details. Give reliable search facility for the users. Administrator, librarian & users should have separate logins. Create an easy to understand user friendly environment. Attractive user interfaces to navigate through the system for the users. Develop the system documentation with detailed system requirement specifications.

Responsibilities:
1 Creating test cases to meet the testing requirements

• Formulating a test approach to be able to test the application on time
• Incorporating a communication protocol to propagate defects to development team to have fixes on time
• Involved in evaluation and testing of individual project activities through maintaining proper documentation.
• Involved in teaching and evaluating students in programming skills like FORTRAN, COBOL, C, PASCAL, DBASE and SQL.
• Involved in Evaluating Students records and assessment of performance.
• Report preparation concerned with student records database.
• Teaching and evaluating Students System software, Operating System, Computer Graphics, DBMS, Language papers, Graph Theory, Computer Based Optimization Techniques, Design and Analysis of Algorithms.

Project Instructor/Tester

Project: Railway Ticket booking Most of the people use the railways, which is most convenient, affordable means of transport in India.So keeping this in view, the reservation of railways is a most important task and it must be faster and efficient asthe demand (travelers) is very high. In order to meet this demand, manual reservation is completely ruled out and it requires an efficient program to implement the online reservation. The purpose of Railway Reservation System is a software application which provides the train timing details, reservation, billing and cancellation. Using these systems Ticket Counter person can perform operations like finding out the train timings and to know information about PNR status, seats availability and costs of each ticket.
