PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential

Quality Assurance Analyst and Performance Tester

• Performed functional/regression/load/stress/performance testing using Waterfall/Agile methodologies.
• Participated in business requirement/design specification document review/walk-through sessions.
• Coordinated with the developers during design, development and unit testing phases.
• Created Test Plans.
• Created Test Scripts using HP Quality Center 11.0.
• Created/maintained Traceability (Requirements - Test Scripts) using HP Quality Center 11.0.
• Code coverage (in debug mode) with reference to business requirements was performed as part of the unit testing.
• Database testing was performed using SQL/400 queries against the DB2 database on AS400 platform for backend validation.
• Performed multi user & multi machine testing.
• Created performance test plans by incorporating user profiles, configurations, environments, risks, test scenarios, schedules and analysis/presentation of results.
• Developed performance scripts for load testing on Citrix Server.
• Used HP Load Runner 10.0 and its components like Virtual User Generator, Controller and Analyzer for performance testing.
• Customized and enhanced the performance scripts by importing new correlation rules identified in this application and by inserting user defined functions within the script.
• Parameterized unique and dynamic content in the application scripts for real time emulation. Page level validations were incorporated in each http request in order to avoid any data corruptions. Appropriate think time was introduced in between transactions. Created single user, baseline and soak test scenarios by incorporating goal oriented approach. Random pacing between iterations was introduced to get the desired transactions per hour.
• Analyzed various graphs available like runtime, transaction and web-resource graphs within the Load Runner analysis tool.
• Used HP Quality Center 11.0 for defect management/reporting.
• Involved in the manual testing for Inventory Healthcare management system in Opus in ATL/COM & MFC.
