SOA Tester & Virtualization Consultant

• Over 50 + services developed in the ESB layer using SOAP/HTTP(S), REST, MQ, JMS, Socket protocols were successfully tested & Service testing responsibilities include:
• Ensure that the service response adheres to the defined Data Mapping/XSLT.
• Boundary conditions, field length, type restrictions, optional & required field behavior is as expected
• Service handles errors gracefully
• Response validation against Schema / XSD to ensure the structure and underlying data conformity.
• Leveraged various Filters & Assertions to validate actual response with expected response.
• Used Altova XMLSpy for reading schema definitions to understand the required, optional field definition, boundary conditions, enumerations, patterns & message structure.
• Leveraged DevTest Staging documents to emulate load on services and monitor average response time.
• Created custom program to read an XML/JSON , create a parameterized request, create an input data sheet with the parameters in the XML/JSON
• Trained and mentored resources on CA DevTest tool.
