• Work with Integrators and QA Analysts to discuss new tools that can help them do their jobs more efficiently.• Design customized GUI base tools, written in python/tkinter, that meet their requirements. • Maintain existing tools by adding new features.• The REST API Request Tool eliminates the need for postman by generating API POSTs, GETs and DELETEs automatically. No API Postman Collections need to be created and maintained. All API Request are customizable by user option menus and can be sent via HTTPS or TCP/IP.• The API Trace Review Tool allows error checking of API Requests and Responses. API logs can be loaded as files or copy & paste drop-ins. The Tool analyzes the data based on the API specs. If the Request or Response does not match the header parameters or body schema, the error is highlighted in the tool.

Integrations• Design Graphical User Interface (GUI) Customer Test Tools for the Integrations Group• Design internal GUI Tools for Integrations, Service Delivery and Pin-Pad Deployment GroupsQuality assurance testing of new software releases and code patches.• Design (in python / tkinter) Command-Line and Graphical User Interface test tools for Merchant Link's Transaction Link, Transaction Shield and Transaction Vault products in both PC and UNIX versions.• Examine / analyze software release notes (document from the developer).• Create QA test plan document based on software release notes.• Create test data and test scripts based on QA test plan.• Execute testing, record and analyze results, report code anomalies to developer.• Perform software code deployment testing on production servers.• Provide test support and conduct certification testing / analysis of new Value-Added Resellers.• Perform certification testing of new or existing host processors.• Develop & improve automated regression test scripts and test tools.

Graphical User Interface Software • Designed, coded and tested major Graphical User Interface (GUI) software components using Visual C++. • Depicted GUI software requirements graphically using power point slides to facilitate software implementation and eliminate misperception of software requirements. Embedded Software • Designed, coded and tested major embedded software components in C++ for both hand held instrumentation and rack mount systems. Embedded software components were designed to run in the pSOS Real Time Operating System environment. • Leveraged Clear Case or Subversion CM tool to maintain revision control of incremental beta releases and for finial software release; Used MS Word to write software requirements, hardware software integration test plans and test procedures; Used MS project to manage software development schedules and Lotus Notes/MS outlook to schedule code review meetings.Software Acceptance Test Engineering• Designed and published manual software test procedures incorporating graphical setups and concise step by step instructions to improved readability.• Revised existing manual software test procedures, incorporated graphical setups and reduced detailed instructions into concise step by step sentences, eliminating confusion and reduced test times.• Converted manual software acceptance test procedures into automated test scripts that greatly reduced the test times labor-intensive manual testing.• Designed, coded and tested automated test scripts written in Perl for software acceptance testing of production software.

Embedded Software • Designed, coded and tested major and minor embedded software components in C for aerospace systems. The Embedded software components were designed to run in the VxWorks Real Time Operating System environment.• Used Clear Case tool to maintain revision control. Used MS Word to write software / hardware integration test plans and test procedures. Used Lotus Notes to schedule code review meetings.
