Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Environment: and Tools: 2015 Ultimate/C#, Microsoft Shims and Fakes, Web Services

Responsibilities:

• Developed new functionality by reading financial documents and comparing selected data to data supplied by Web Services.
• Used Adaptor, Bridge and Chain of Responsibility Design Patterns to create flexible data structures to rapidly adapt to changing Business conditions.
• Developed new Software Testing Framework in C#.

Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Environment: and Tools: 2013 Ultimate/C#, Microsoft Shims and Fakes, MSTest, Resharper, SOAPUI

Responsibilities:

• Coded660+ Regression Tests with C#, to confirm newly added features, defect fixes and re-factorings did not diminish high reliability.
• Performed Root Cause Analysis on Validation algorithm failures and then wrote automated regression tests with Microsoft Shims to ensure quality.
• Increased rate of data collection by factor of 9 by using Task Parallel Library (TPL).
• Rewrote Validation tests to use Web Services instead of Http requests.
• Consumed Web Services and used XPath to parse responses.
• Rewrote problematic code sections using Confidential . principles to permit ease of future maintenance.
• Increased software reliability by exercising every path to verify behavior before code was deployed. Verified with code coverage tool.
• Created more intelligent searching algorithms than original code and which would activate once the original code failed.
• Worked with Liaison to clarify business rules and finish incomplete code for large financial client.
• Used TFS to manage software versions.
• Employed Automation to execute thousands of lines of code in seconds and detect "bugs" caused by unexpected data or software defects. This reduced risk to organization of having non-functioning software and decreased Development time since the location of the defect was known.
• Decreased cost of fixing defects by finding them earlier in SDLC.
• Wrote automated tests to confirm business-critical financial algorithms were calculating correctly and tested these daily.
• Computerized Integration tests spotted erroneous monetary calculations on several occasions before human detection occurred.
• Wrote routines to extract data from SOAP responses and WCF Service calls for business needs.
• Introduced Software Test Automation to simulate various functions to expose weaknesses in codebase.

Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Environment: and Tools: 2013 Ultimate, Microsoft Shims and Fakes, MSTest, Resharper, MVC/Web API

Responsibilities:

• Developed Software Testing Framework from ground up using C# code.
• Saved hundreds of hours of refactoring legacy code by using Microsoft Shims.
• Greatly reduced defect detection time for Developers by using Test suite to exercise hundreds of lines of code in seconds instead of hours/days.
• Decreased test code maintenance time for Integration tests by encapsulating test-suite feature variance and using Dependency Injection.
• Identified points of failure in API and wrote Automated Tests to verify modifications.
• Improved software reliability with Integration tests to prevent unforeseen behavior of Web API Controllers.
• Removed blockage to automated tests by using Microsoft Shims to remove dependencies on external web service calls.
• Used automated tests to pin-point the exact cause and location of defects to aid developers.
