As a Lead Automation Test Consultant at ASX, I spearheaded a ground-breaking initiative to automate the testing of the CHESS system, a task that was previously deemed impossible by most testing vendors. By collaborating closely with CHESS developers and the business, I successfully implemented an automated testing solution called Easy Script, revolutionizing the testing process and achieving remarkable results.Key Achievements:Automation of CHESS System Testing: Led the effort to automate the testing of the CHESS system, which involved working closely with developers and business stakeholders. Implemented the Easy Script solution, which generated test scripts to be passed to the VMS server. These scripts replaced the need for manual testing through the users' green screen interface.Significant Time and Resource Savings: By automating the testing process, achieved a substantial return on investment. Previously, a regression test cycle for thousands of test scenarios would require 2-3 testers and take 3-5 weeks to complete. With Easy Script, a single tester could easily manage the testing effort, completing it within 1-2 days. This resulted in significant time and resource savings for the organization.Enhanced Testing Efficiency: Streamlined the testing process by eliminating manual steps and reducing dependency on human interaction. The automated solution ensured consistency and accuracy in test execution, minimizing the risk of human errors and improving overall testing efficiency.Improved Test Coverage: With the automation of test scripts, achieved comprehensive test coverage for the CHESS system. This resulted in increased confidence in system reliability and reduced the likelihood of critical issues going undetected. Show less

Our project, focused on developing a cutting-edge Bush Fire Simulator, garnered significant recognition and received a prestigious High Distinction award - the first-ever achieved in our engineering facility.A key responsibility was organizing the first-ever presentation of the Bush Fire Simulator concept to the government, with the aim of securing further investments in this crucial field. The project involved strong exposure to MapInfo systems and Digital Elevation Models of Australia's terrain surfaces, which were seamlessly incorporated into the simulator system.One of the project's highlights was the automation of the McArthur Fire Danger Index, enabling the simulator to receive real-time data on current and expected fire conditions. This allowed for an accurate modelling of the behaviour of real bush fires, including the occurrence of spot fires.The project presented an exciting challenge, with numerous mathematical variables to be tested and fine-tuned. The successful outcome of our efforts garnered government funding for further analysis, paving the way for the remarkable systems we have in place today. Show less
