PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential, New Jersey

Performance Test Lead

Responsibilities:

• Resolving the Performance Issues In the Performance Lab
• Gathering the information for previous successful benchmarked load tests
• Gathering the application’s new performance requirements after interacting with client/development team or getting values from production environment etc
• Create Test plans i.e. gather requirements /interact with client/get approval etc.
• Identification of new Performance Testing Scenarios and Business Transactions.
• Developed the Load Test scripts using the Load Runner Virtual User Generator and enhanced the scripts by including transactions, parameterize the constant values and correlating the dynamic values.
• Test Data preparation for tests i.e. setup the data in the application to meet the functionality during the tests, setup data for test tool etc
• Modification of Load Runner Scripts and execution i.e. Capture the scenario, do required modifications in the script like co-relation/parameterization etc based to the requirement do the tests like Load test etc.
• Monitor the accessibility of bank's internet applications.
• Enhanced Load Runner scripts to test the new builds of the application Developing Vuser scripts and enhanced the basic script by Parameterizing the constant values
