CAREER SUMMARY

• Maintained and enhanced FASTT framework which is another cutting edge piece of test automation software that uses HP’s QuickTest Pro to make user friendly scripts.
• Designed, built and maintained QTF (Quorum Test Framework) which is a high tech, cutting edge piece of test automation software that uses HP’s QuickTest Pro to make user friendly, codeless scripts.
• Designed, built and maintained ScriptScheduler which runs batches of the QuickTest Pro scripts and reports the results via email. Also, built in many features including a pause control to pause the script execution.
• Limitations with early versions of QTP required for me to invent my own Object Repository.
• Involved in dataload project that required using specific data pulled from Excel to populate SQL database through Java Beans (EJB). LoadRunner is not designed to do this. It is only supposed to be able to input similar data.
• Wrote WinRunner script to replace their VB Make which is software that builds executables and dlls. The VB Make was very limited in it’s functionality so I improved on it by writing scripts that would do the builds and would notify the user when the builds were completed or failed and would report which files did not build. Used HP’s Quality Center to run test scenarios, maintain testcases and store testplan.
