SUMMARY

• 12+ years of IT experience with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro limited on testing and production support related to LoadRunner, UNIX shell scripting, Core java, EAI/ETL, DB2 and Oracle technologies.
• In duration of 12+ years, I performed the role as Performance Tester, ETL Tester, and L3 production support SME.
• As a performance tester/analyst, my responsibilities were - (i) Performance testing engineering using the performance testing tool Loadrunner. (ii) Build and maintain performance testing strategy, test scenarios and test cases.(iii) Performance, load, concurrent user and stress testing development, execution and publish results.(iv) Requirements and functional specifications review.(v) Test environment management/configuration.(vi) Perform capacity, scenario and endurance tests.(vii) Analyze scalability, throughput and load testing metrics against test servers. (viii) Compare and contrast system performance with varying levels of physical resources like RAM, CPU, disk utilization, and networks etc. (ix) Execute performance optimization experiments and recommend short and long term plans.(x) Measure, report and recommend performance response time guidelines/SLAs.(xi) Generate test summary reports for management review. (xii) Analyze root causes of performance issues and provide corrective actions. (xiii) Reporting defects in HP ALM and JIRA so that DEV team can work in the code level and look for SQL query tuning to increase performance.
• As an ETL tester, my responsibilities were - (i) Testing of ETL components/software using ETL tools Ab-Initio and Datastage. (ii) Test ETL datawarehouse components. (iii) Executing backend data-driven test (iv) Create, design, and execute test strategy, test scenarios, test plans and test cases. (v)
• As a L3 production support SME, I analyzed root cause and fixed multiple production related issues. I Performed development activities in the code for the minor enhancement requests (MERs).Used majorly UNIX shell scripting and core JAVA for the development and tested in lower environment. Get the development work reviewed and approved by business user in UAT environment before moving the code to production through change request (CR). Also I executed all the ITSM process (incident management, problem management, change management, release management, SRQ etc.) to carry out production support activities in day-to-day basis. Tool used to report ITSM process activities is HPSD and ServiceNow.
• Extensive experience on testing tools and software - LoadRunner, Junit, SOAP UI (REST and SOAP Automated API Testing Tool), Google Analytics, HP ALM, and JIRA.
• Used LoadRunner for measuring system behavior and load performance.
• Used Junit for unit testing the application.
• Experience extensively on UNIX shell scripting, Core Java, JSP, XML, SQL, Web Services, WebSphere MQ, EDI and EAI/ETL technologies.
• Have used HPSD (HP Software Division) and ServiceNow for incident, problem, change, SRQ and release management.
• Business Domains worked: Manufacturing and Supply Chain, Automobiles, Retail and Pharmacy, Banking and Financial Services.
• Have worked both in Scrum Agile framework and Waterfall framework projects.
• Experience in DevOps Atlassian tools like GIT, JIRA.
• Experience in using Oracle 11g and IBM DB2 database.
• Used HP ALM and JIRA for defect management and release management.
• Used Google Analytics to measure the result of individual activity in real-time, data comparison between different dates for business decision.
• Experience in testing the web services using SOAP UI.
• Experience in using version and build applications/tools like Tortoise SVN, GIT and CVS.
• Solving skills by delivering quality solutions to complex problems within a limited time span.
• Self-motivated with natural leadership traits, excellent communication skills and a good team player.
