Revitalized the engineering test team, built and refined the engineering test infrastructure for the Xerox Wide Format Accxes controller software platform. Administered Sun Microsystems distributed source control management system and software build tree for a complex code base of 1,000,000+ lines of code for release to test and field.Lead a team of test engineers performing focused testing on individual developer workspaces and developing test tools. Coordinated software configuration control and integrated of software changes across a software development team of 15 members to the main build workspace for release. Developed and implemented an automated software method of comparing raster output on a pixel for pixel resolution to find imperceptible changes in output or regressions in vector data formats for monochrome wide format 400 dots per inch output resulting in 0 data format regressions at launch for change in processor architecture from Power-PC to Intel. Revitalized team focus with a new test suite for a new cross platform client tool platform considerably more advanced Linked test cases to engineering specifications and marketing requirements to provide a chain of traceability for launch Architected and administered lab network infrastructure, file services, authentication, client workstations, and automation servers using open-source/free software and legacy hardware eliminating a large portion of non-labor spend for the team.
