Automation Tester

Responsibilities:

• Attended Sprint plan meetings, Daily standup meetings, and Reviewed user stories in Agile Environment.

• Involved in Functional and Regression Testing
• User Stories were tracked using Jira.
• Tracked the defects using JIRA.
• Created and updated test scenarios, test plans, and test cases according to use case and design, participated in system walkthrough and inspection meetings to understand the business rules and system operation flows.

• Validated Reports and statements.

Environment: UFT, ALM, Java/J2EE, spring, Hibernate, JDBC, Apache Tomcat, MySQL, JSP, HTML, Linux, Jira, Rally, Toad, SQL Console, Jason, RESTful Services, XML, JSON, Shell Script

Responsibilities:

• Attended Sprint plan meetings, Daily standup meetings, and Reviewed user stories in Agile Environment.
• User Stories were tracked using Jira.
• Designed and developed performance testing scripts, functions, scenarios, processes for simple to complex testing situations.
• Validated schedulers to make sure the mortgage account generated and reports are generated for each customer. Validated CRON jobs executed as per the schedule.
• Tested end to end application process including, signup, sign in, amortization schedule, pre-approval letter, loan approval process, online payment and monthly statements which include both manual testing and automation
• Was part of the team meeting and key contributor for test plan development especially in effort estimation, environment planning and estimation, automation assessment, formats of reporting, in scope and out of scope definition, risks assessment and mitigation etc
• Developed UFT automation scripts for the identified modules requiring automation and conducted the tests using the scripts for regression, retest in addition to the regular tests as allocated during the project.
• Initially test cases were prepared in excel and exported to Version one. Later migrated to ALM. The requirement, test cases, test data, requirement traceability and similarly defect connected to test case and requirement were done on end to end basis which include the peer reviews, work bench reviews and red team reviews.
• Have played key role in automation in this project and mainly used UFT 11.5 version. Have created tests based on the object property parameters defined in the use case/technical specification documents for various modules covered in various sprints and releases even as the development taking place in parallel that helped to expedite the testing activity in short period effectively. Have used hybrid frame work for developing the scripts combining both data driven and key word driven. The main objective is that the scripts can be used by even by a layman during regression or retest and the tests are highly code optimized and run as test-sets even without ALM( though ALM has real value add centralizing the test activity of the tests and scripts across organization).. This involved identifying the steps of various tests and creating a function library for every step. The various tests will use the steps in different order and combination and this will be called by the keyword. An Excel sheet that has a list of the test cases designed such that the tester can choose which tests he want to perform. He populates the data in the test data sheet that is part of the same excel sheet. One sheet for test data for every test case is assigned. The scripts is developed such that the appropriate test steps are run with the populated test data and the results will be updated for every iteration back into the excel sheet. The script is written such that it extensively used getRO property, instr, webtable. Getcelldata (), .exists, recovery scenarios etc such that all the checks and balances are thoroughly done and script does not make the system hang for errors. The unique part is that the steps also automated the back end testing of the data base using the class (adbDB) and odbc driver. I have automated the signup module ( this has a webservice run to government agency to check the authentication of the applicant and test case included the back end testing as well),Sign in, Amortization calculator, preapproval modules. I have scripted for multiple tests that combines the ui testing, Web service testing and data base testing tightly coupled which are really complex in nature and received appreciations.
