Client: PepsiCoIn my present capacity, I am accountable for undertaking system performance testing to ensure system reliability, capacity, and scalability. I also develop and execute performance test plans and cases with the testing team. Additionally, I develop and run automated test scenarios and environments for performance testing.In this role, I conduct the PoC, articulate the performance testing proposals for new clients, and associate with the sales team to procure new performance testing, estimations, and billing projects. I examine the performance of the CI/CD pipeline. I also handle the performance regressions early and create performance test suites that can be run routinely during program development. Furthermore, I finalize a test environment, data sets, and data. I also implement the Performance testing tools like JMeter and LoadRunner for replicating user interactions, API calls, and other system activities. My career highlights include the following: • Improved Application Performance: Identified and fixed mission-critical application performance bottlenecks, improving response times and system performance. Improved user experience and customer satisfaction.• Performance Test Automation: Developed and handled a performance test automation framework to simplify test script creation and execution, streamlined with the automation framework.• Collaborative Troubleshooting: Assisted in development, operations, and infrastructure teams in solving challenging performance issues. Guided in discovering and rectifying the root causes, improving application performance and stability.• Performance Testing in Agile Environment: Merged the overall performance testing with sprint cycles and delivered early performance insights in an Agile development process. This proactive strategy prevented performance regressions and enabled performance optimizations.

Tested the APIs, Client Apps, and 3rd party applications. I also utilized the LoadRunner & JMeter for designing performance testing frameworks.During my association, I undertook the performance testing & analysis of web platforms and applications, prepared the scripts and scenarios, recorded and interpreted the flows, identified the defects & rectified the issues. Furthermore, I analyzed the heap usage and discovered the memory leak through the heap dump, reviewed thread usage & deadlock activities through the thread dump, and examined the application & other third-party server logs. I also evaluated the AWS Performance Insights as well as CPU consumption through JFR.My career highlights include the following: • Load Testing for Product Launch: Played a stellar role in stimulating thousands of consumers for a high-profile product launch. Ensured that the application architecture could handle the expected user demand, allowing the product to launch without performance concerns and delivering a flawless user experience.• Performance Test Reporting and Documentation: Produced and issued the performance test reports and documentation clearly expressing the objectives, methods, findings, and recommendations, enabling informed decision-making and proactive performance improvement.• Proactive Performance Monitoring: Deployed a real-time performance monitoring system. Proactive monitoring detected performance issues before they affected end-users, decreasing downtime.• Scalability Testing: Examined a web app's scalability under increasing user loads. Determined the application's maximum user capacity without performance degradation and recommended scalability optimization for future development.
