Mike Harwerth Email & Phone Number

Tech Lead responsible for test automation, environment stability, and improvement projects.• Developed automated acceptance test framework based upon Selenium and Cucumber.• Developed service virtualization enabling parallel software development for development team. Removed dependencies on backend systems for acceptance tests.• Managed and supported critical non-production environments. Responsible for deployment scheduling and issue resolution.• Tech Lead for offshore implementation of improvement projects.

Senior Designer on team responsible for providing a service bus for multiple backend wealth management services.• Developed or enhanced multiple services requiring interaction with multiple backend systems and teams.• Project managed through VersionOne using an Agile/Scrum development process.• Provided support in development and UAT environments.• Main technologies used: (Spring, hibernate, jdbc, junit, ant, log4j, jmock, quartz, Oracle, Weblogic, Filenet).• As Senior Developer also provided: User Stories, estimates and work break down, UML, implementation of key functionality, code review, mentorship.

Senior Designer on team responsible for scaling distributed automation test tool platform to users desktop. • Project implemented using an Agile/Scrum development process. Participated in defining the implementation of Scrum process. Scrum Master for one of the three teams. Utilized ScrumWorks and planning poker.• Desktop application delivered as an Eclipse RCP or plug–in. • Services refactored as plug-in extensions.• User interface developed using SWT, an Eclipse Swing alternative.• Introduced/implemented MVC pattern to separate business logic from GUI implementation.• Used marshalling library, similar to Jibx, for XML serialization/deserialization of configuration data.• Automated unit testing implemented with JUnit using EasyMock and PowerMock frameworks.• Automated integration testing implemented using SWTBot.• Continuous Integration managed through CruiseControl.• Supported and enhanced Ant XML build script.

Senior Designer on team responsible for consolidating multiple automation test tools into a single java based tool.• Specified a protocol definition language, similar to XSD syntax, which defined protocols in terms of what elements and attributes may appear, their relationship to each other, what types of data may be in them, and encoding scheme.• Specified a protocol variant definition language, similar to XSD syntax, which allowed protocols to extend or overwrite base protocol definitions.• Directed/supported offshore team to develop binding compiler, similar to JAXB, to generate protocol schema defined classes.• Directed/supported offshore team to develop binding compiler, similar to JAXB customized bindings, to generate protocol schema defined classes that overwrote base bindings.• Directed/supported offshore team to develop compiler to validate an ASN1 protocol specification and generate internal protocol schema specification.• Developed compiler to validate a BNF protocol specification and generate internal protocol schema specification.• Designed codec framework to decouple generated protocol classes from knowledge of the encoding schemes.• Guided and supported multiple codec implementations.• Specified/supported message configuration framework that parsed a configuration file into a content tree, similar to DOM.• Developed message configuration framework that provided loading of specified instance data from a content tree.• Developed protocol message verification framework to validate that a message received from a system under test had expected values. Defined various modes of service that allowed user to customize how the message was verified.• Guided and supported multiple test points that allowed customers to connect to the equipment under test using a defined telephony protocol.• Produced user documentation defining syntax and usage.

Senior Designer on team responsible for implementing an editor where all items where represented graphically providing the user an easier way to visualize the message flow of complex test cases. Saved users valuable time otherwise expended writing test cases with a traditional editor.• Guided architecture through regular meetings with customer.• Enhanced and supported event engine providing record/playback of a users session as well as test case creation.• Developed registry that provided list of protocol message configuration instances.• Developed unmarshalling framework that converted a protocol message configuration instance into protocol schema Java objects, similar to JAXB unmarshalling.• Software and technologies used: Java, reflection, JUnit

Senior Designer for tool developed to allow users to automate testing of equipment without manual intervention. Tool evolved to support a large number of interfaces and protocols that was used to test a variety of equipment.• Developed user interfaces for Automation Control, Administration, and Interactive Testing. • Evaluated third party tool options to assist in data test automation specializing in modem transmissions. Proposed hardware and software solutions.• Designed framework for testing echo cancellation and providing quality of signal statistics. Patent awarded for design.• Software and technologies used: C++, Motif, Windows API User Interface, AT modem commands
