Test lead, automation tester and release manager for the Austrics bus scheduling application upgrade project. ♦ Created automated test framework for the DataSet ServerUsing Python and Avocado created a test framework based on the Page Object Model used in Selenium.♦ CentOS 7 configuration and application install testingConfigured CentOS and installed libraries for Austrics install and operation, setup and configured a YUM repository for auto-installation of Austrics application for integration and release testing.♦ Instigated the Use of Zephyr for JiraResearched and submitted a report to management covering the benefits and cost savings of changing the manual test process to the use of Zephyr, oversaw the setup of Zephyr and provided training to other testers. Converted existing word based Austrics manual tests to Zephyr items.♦ Setup HipChat to increase communications between the Adelaide and Brisbane staff in the development teamAfter talking to the Adelaide staff, I discovered one of their concerns was a lack of timely communications from the head office in Brisbane so I installed an instance of HipChat which not only improved the communication of management decisions but also increased the team’s productivity.♦ Created GUI automated tests using SikuliXAs Perl Tk and older Qt 4.7 applications have no existing test framework which readily works directly with the code I used SikuliX for testing some applications. SikuliX uses image recognition to identify and control GUI components.♦ Manual testing of the Austrics applicationThese applications included the roster, crew, planner and dataset interface.♦ Creation of the dataset server SRS and test planWrote the software requirements specification (SRS) and test plan for the existing code using the RFC 2119 and IEEE 829-2008 standards.

Test planning, auto-test creation using Selenium WebDriver and RSpec, performance testing using JMeter. ♦ Auto-test creation using Selenium WebDriver, RSpec and TestWise IDE.Test planning and auto-test creation for the customer-facing site using the Ruby programming language.♦ Stress testing using JMeter and Ruby-JMeterInitial creation of the JMeter tests using the JMeter GUI, further work creating the tests in Ruby using Ruby-JMeter in order to enable triggering of the tests using the Jenkins CI system.♦ Performance testing using a combination of JMeter and Selenium.Created a standalone Selenium WebDriver script in Ruby with page timing output to a log file, ran this in conjunction with JMeter in order to get performance measurement for the customer site under load. Successfully ran this script during Public Relation events to measure performance of the production system.♦ Testing of Microsoft ADFSAs part of the auto-testing and performance testing the scripts performed full ADFS login authentication.♦ Modifications to the existing Jenkins CI system.Updated the Jenkins CI system to add popular web browser clients to the Selenium tests enabling better test coverage.♦ Analysing performance results to pin point bottlenecks and graphical reporting of results using the R programming language.Created typical customer usage patterns in JMeter and used the R programming language to generate graphical representations for the data generated; used these reports to indicate possible bottlenecks.♦ Generation of large customer test datasets for auto-test systems.Wrote Ruby scripts using the Faker class to generate large numbers of user data in a CSV file to use with the Selenium auto-tests and JMeter stress tests and to perform complete end to end testing of the website.♦ Reconfiguration of existing Microsoft Dynamics CRM.Made changes to the configuration where necessary to perform website testing.
