• Developed Match Script for virtual services based on that it will return correct response or fault response.
• Simulating error conditions/scenarios.
• Emulating load on the systems using virtual service layer.
• Increased the capacity of virtual services to handle the huge transactions.

• Performed Data Driven testing by attaching a csv file to the test scripts.
• Developed a program in Java that writes the values to a Excel file with the generated value in the test case.
• Used Selenium builder (it is a plug-in in Firefox) to record and playback tests and then export the recorded test in other language e.g. JSON, Java. Exported recorded JSON test to CA DevTest tool for UI Testing.
• Implemented Mobile Testing using Sauce Labs as cloud emulator and recorded & tested the steps using CA DevTest.
• Identify issues/bug related to the CA LISA tool functionalities and work with CA Support team to get them fixed.
• Involved in CA Devtest upgrade and helped in resolving some of the issues faced in the process.
