* Performed manual testing and automation testing on Trimble's SketchUp Architecture 3D drawing software * Using the Scaled Agile Software Development process with Jira, sprints were assigned for handling defects, automation activities, and dev testing for new SketchUp functionality. * Became a functional test lead in charge of creating and running automation tests (Python and Ruby) on both new functionality and past regression tests. This also involved creating test cases and test plans for new SketchUp functionality such as hidden geometry and dashed lines styles. * Python scripts were used in GUI automation to improve localization testing processes, and SketchUp related testing activities such as setting up regression tests for verifying critical bugs. * Very involved in helping resolve quality issues with customers using Centercode for Beta testing feedback. * Worked on install issues, remote testing issues (using the Chrome Remote Desktop extension), and SketchUp extension defects. * Worked on GIS projects at Trimble/SketchUp with drawings that included GIS information for building locations where this information had to be initiated or changed depending on the location of a new building. Important info included how the shadows on a building varied depending on the GIS info for the building location. GIS was also used for placing building drawings on terrain maps based on satellite mapping data.

Created test processes and procedures for a new QA team that was formed* Scrum/Agile QA/development process, used Test Rail/TFS/MTM for test case/defect Management* Three week build cycle, 2 weeks functional testing, 1 week regression testing with smoke testing in staging.* . Developed automation for regression testing and productivity tools using Python/Selenium with JavaScript to control the DOM. Endtest.io was used as a server base to run regression test automation.* Tested Android and IOS mobile systems, scanning equipment for the mobile phones, and internet cloud systems backend, Java Script frontend, and desktop. Use MySQL to verify database results of testing.* Managed one person in QA department, and 2 testers on loan from New York during regression testing.*. Used MySQL to verify database changes, and Excel Google Docs to coordinate test plans, test issues.

* Worked in the Ad Technology department where I ran automation tests for regression about 25% of the time in the cloud (saucelabs) using the Jenkins build server as an interface to the automation tests. I created some automation tests using AppleScript with JavaScript objects. Created a new object methodology for automation that eliminates the need for development to add IDs for GUI objects. Manual Testing was the majority of my job focus where I was involved with testing video ad technology (VAST protocol, FLASH/HTML) and display ad technology using JavaScript synch and asynch tags with some mobile testing included. * Involved in backend testing 70% of the time with the Ad Server called Blackbird. Used Curl commands to hit the Blackbird server directly to test the JSONP response. This was done in the MAC terminal as well as with PostMan. Verified ad activity in the Kafka logs, SqlServer database, and the Hive database server.* Agile/Scrum development process using JIRA to track User Stories, test cases, and defects.

Working with QA automation team to automate ClickFox's CEA app using Selenium, Protractor, and Angular with JavaScript. Building out automation framework using open source technologies such as Jenkins, Maven, etc. After 6 weeks on the job a RIF occurred, I was laid off along with the majority of my QA group.

Automated the SAP satellite tasking order system for regression testing using QTP. This was end to end regression testing typically done after a hardening sprint. The QTP automation framework consisted of a Jenkins interface to control testing using many automation technologies such as JMeter, SoapUI, QTP, Chilkat, and QFTest. Subversion (SVN) was used to control the QTP code changes among the group of automation engineers coding the scripts. Rally was used to track defects and user stories among the different QA groups. ALM 11 was used to track our test cycle results. The automation script was setup to run on 3 different environments: a QA environment, a development environment, and a secure environment.Used the Agile software development methodology to consistently meet our build schedule. We created User Stories for the automation or manual testing to be done for each sprint and tracked our progress in Rally. The combination of manual testing with automation allowed us to triple our regression coverage with the same amount of people in our group over a period of 6 months.

Worked with QTP add on BPT for automation testing for 50% of my time while running manual testing for the other 50% of my time. The testing was done on a product used by hospitals called "HED" that was created to track a patients drug usage and care. HED proved to be a very complex product to automate. It used QTP directly with ALM 11 to manage the automation with the BPT add on that allowed manual testers to run automation tests. I was able to make a large amount of progress on the manual testing, but the automation regression testing was not fully developed, so only a few hundred tests were actually automated effectively. We used Rally to track our testing in an Agile environment along with Quality Center to hold our test plans and defects.

Given the responsibility for creating an automation framework to automate their salesforce.com interface that tracked their Webroot virus detection software offerings to various customers for the Webroot salesforce team. A QTP framework based on keyword entry into the default QTP spreadsheets was created for use by other automation engineers and manual testers. The time to test the salesforce.com interface was reduced from 1 hour to 5 minutes for each regression test. An Oracle ERP interface was also automated that completed the ordering process that worked with the salesforce.com website.

* Given responsibility of managing the quality of at least 3 software development projects related to rocket manufacture including manual testing, automation, and defect tracking tools. These projects included mission critical system software to monitor rocket manufacture procurement, future rocket cost proposals, and rocket part quality during rocket assembly.* Developed workflow and performed admin duties for Mercury Quality Center to establish a defect management system, including setting up the email infrastructure and database fields. * Developed reporting infrastructure using Quality Center version 11 to monitor testing activities such as defects, test plans, requirements, and test cases. Used the OTA API of QC to set these reports up in Excel.* Developed Quick Test Pro automation to test web app test cases created by the business users. * Developed testing infrastructure using the AutoIT automation package. The package is freeware and it can automate tests for non-standard interfaces. It grabs images rather than objects to compare actual from expected results.* Used Excel Macro automation (VBA) to verify data obtained through other software packages. Also Used QTP (Quick Test Pro) to verify data showing up on a web app client screen compared to what is showing up in an excel file obtained from an Oracle database.

* Wrote test plans and test scripts for each new build of a TeamTrack software release, also logged defects, and performed smoke testing, regression testing, and functional testing. API white box testing was also a key focus. Each build had to be tested and installed for Unix, Linux, and Windows Versions.* Worked as an automation lead over 3 QA engineers, We automated approximately 1400 test cases using Winrunner and QTP, which allowed extensive regression testing.* Used VMWare imaging software to test the TeamTrack software products for SQL Server, Oracle, and Access databases on both Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems.* Used Excel to report my progress on all QA activities by importing the report into Mercury Quality Center.* Automated all XML command line processes for webservice applications within TeamTrack using a Perl harness to run the automation in VMWare images for SQL Server, Oracle, and Access databases for the Windows OS.* Developed automation to test API's for both TeamTrack webservices and TeamTrack Windows applications with VMWare images using the Windows OS and the Access database.
