PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE;

Confidential, Charlotte, NC

Performance Test Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for developing and executing performance and volume tests.
• Responsible for preparing Performance testing plan and Test Cases based on business and technical requirements.
• Executed Load Tests, Capacity tests and presented the results to the customers.
• Analyzed server metrics and have identified the methods of particular business transactions that are taking more response times to process the request by analyzing the Pure Paths in Dynatrace .
• Analyzed other server metrics like CPU utilization, Memory usage of the servers, errors and other exceptions that we come across during the Load Tests using App Dynamics.
