Testing requirements included multiple versions of SAP, PeopleSoft and Oracle ERPs Direct or through Tibco and either Oracle, MSSQL, or DB2 for Buyer data. Later testing (Buyer 8.0+) involved deployment of application on both WebSphere and WebLogic J2EE platforms, and testing of configuration tools for same. Testing was a mix of White/Black Box. Validations were performed using WinRunner combined with ad-hoc testing via SOAP API, SQL, etc. as needed. * Played a key role as QA lead in creating the Upgrade Lab, a Special Projects team which brought customer instances in-house and migrated code and data to the new object model and schema implemented in later releases* Proposed and implemented several quality initiatives which had measurable positive impact on customers* Winner - Ariba TEAM award; awarded to ad-hoc cross-functional teams which significantly impacted business* Designed and coded a web application (Perl/Oracle) to track status of migration testing, including automated status checking to display run state of the various test instances on one screen, current status, status history, and the myriad details which development engineers needed to investigate issues* Valuable resource for Tech Support, helping with issues beyond their expertise while reducing the need to involve Developers with Tech Support cases* Developed, reviewed, and executed test plans and procedures
