Confidential, San Ramon, CA Jan 2009 – Present 
Software QA Analyst

Project Description:
CSI is Confidential’s enterprise middleware platform for enabling Business to Business (B2B) partners and internal IT applications. CSI is a SOAP compliant web services implementation that provides a robust set of services intended to support the management of Confidential wireless, DSL and Uverse customers along with network and provisioning services by our business partners. Major responsibilities include but are not limited to test data creation, submitting and validating defect fixes and supporting internal client issues during end to end testing, production support during productions code releases and midterm Releases. Working closely with PM\'s, development and backend systems (CARE and TLG) to test the different Csi applications like Atlas middleware, Csi, Cam on schedule and by following SDLC Guideline. CSI provides XML based Web services to provide functionality to its clients, the interfaces to the CSI Web services are described using WSDL\'s (web services description language) along with supporting XSDs (XML schema definitions). The primary reasons for using these collection of technologies are (1) Platform and language Agnostic (any computer with any OS using any language can communicate using XML) (2) Wide industry support for tools and services and (3) Allows for tightly constrained interfaces that are clearly communicated within the Runtime metadata(E.g. elements within the interface can be restricted within the XSD used at runtime as apposed to external documentation like Javadocs that are not bound to the runtime code). CSI uses SOAP protocol for messaging.
