      • Analyze, design, and develop automated test framework (ATF) using Ruby, Cucumber, Calabash, and C# • ATF executes BDD-Gherkin feature files for verification testing of mobile-based software. Platforms include Windows7, CE, and Android • Develop Automated-Test Server using C#. Server interacts with the ATF (Client) via Threaded Socket Listener executing in the SUT. JSON API & XML Content • Integrated ATF into Continuous Integration (CI) using Jenkins to execute smoke tests every night on latest Software builds • Utilized Agile, Sprint, SCRUM, and Kanban methodologies in implementing the automation project

    • Senior Software Tools Engineer
      • Mar 2009 - Dec 2013

      • Analyze, design, and develop automated test framework using Python, Perl, and froglogic’s Squish to perform verification testing of advanced medical imaging software. • Led automation team in developing the automation test framework. Implemented the framework using a Descriptive Language Programming concept “Descriptive Language Modules” (DLMs). The DLMs create a specialized language extension that describes the application-under-test functionality. The DLMs are named relative to end-user actions allowing subject-matter experts to write automated tests with limited programming experience. • Worked directly with the development team to create application test hooks using QT slots/signals enabling access to additional validation points and extending the range of information verifiable by automation • Developed a series of automated build verification tests. The tests are integrated into the continuous integration build system to ensure the validity of the latest build. • Developed automated test network which is used to execute over 354 tests nightly. The nightly test suite includes requirement-based, stress and soak, performance, trend-data collection, hardware, and use-case tests. • Utilized Agile, Sprint, SCRUM, and Kanban methodologies in implementing the automation project.
