Portfolio Projects
Description
Automated testing of security web portal for ATT client. Using: Selenium, Java, Eclipse, JIRA
- Part Time Scrum-master, leading team when primary Scrum Master not available
- Hand coded test methods and classes for automated tests of UIs using Java/Selenium in Eclipse
- Manually tested API calls using curl and gcurl at Linux bash command shell, I did this whenever UI bugs were seen, in order to determine whether the issue was an API issue or a UI issue
- There were several user profiles with different behaviors, I upgraded the automated tests to handle all the variations in user profile behaviors. Junit properties were used, and methods were skipped which did not apply to certain user roles. I set up negative tests to ensure certain user roles could not access prohibited features
- I ran the tests on QA and UAT builds, found numerous bugs & recorded them in Jira to add to the scrum project backlog
- Used manual queries in MySql to verify data changes before and after some tests
- Used maven at command line to vary input options for automated java tests
- Used Git to maintain code repository
- Used Jira to record defects
- Set up Perfecto for Mobile Testing
