PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Software QE Engineer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Developed and executed test plans and test suites to qualify Solaris builds.
• Analyzed test results and filed bugs found.
• Designed and implemented a test suite in support of verifying the functionality of libdtrace(3LIB) in Solaris 12, a C library interface used by Dtrace consumers (for example, dtrace(1M) and lockstat(1M)) to access the kernel DTrace framework. This suite was instrumental in greatly improving the quality of libdtrace prior to integration into the release, finding 25 bugs.
• Fixed 30+ bugs improving quality of Dtrace test suite. This test suite resides in the OS Networking (ON) source gate.
• Fixed 10+ bugs improving quality of devices test suite and further enhancing with additional tests within 6 months.
• Fixed 20+ bugs in SVVS (32-bit) and BSST (64-bit) test suites ensuring that the test suites in compliance with the System V Interface Definition, Issue 3 (SVID 3).
• Developed a proctools test suite using C and Perl. The proctools test suite is a collection of tests for testing the Solaris proc tools.
• Developed a results reporting and analysis tool using Perl and MySQL. This tool enables you to dump OS Networking Pre-Integration Test (ON-PIT) results information corresponding to a test suite or test case, analyze Solaris Test Frame Work (STF) and TET journal files, and compare the results to the ON-PIT DB results.
