Test Lead

Dec 2015Aug 2016 · 8 mos · Gurgaon, India

  • Worked on testing of one of the unsolved problems in the country i.e. making ease in Public transport via technology. The most complex system where user needs accuracy at every point without in direct touch with the drivers which is an option in Uber!
  • Some of the interesting projects which I worked on:
  • Automatic Vehicle Allocation: Testing of AVA system that is one of it's kind creating scenarios to simulate on ground behavior of drivers, Traffic, un-predictable situations such as vehicle breakdown, absentism, allocation on the basis of driver running status.
  • ETA: Unlike cabs, ETA accuracy is much more important as consumer is not directly contacting driver in bus and would not want to wait for a long time or come late. Testing of application showing accurate ETA according to the traffic on a fixed route on real time basis and calculating on the behavior of drivers such as deviation of routes!
