• Implemented automation framework to allow for automated tests to run in parallel via Seleniun Grid through Amazon EC2, as well as locally hosted mac minis. This reduced total test run time from over 5 hours, to under 10 minutes.
• Integrated Appium with our test automation framework, which allowed for both mobile browser and native app testing
• Helped standardize the automation framework to make adding automated tests easy for other team members
• Implemented new automation projects for various properties utilizing our in-house automation framework
• Mentored other team members, including performing code reviews to ensure code was maintainable, scalable, and consistent.
• Led the initiative to create first class automated tests that didn’t rely on any preexisting data to eliminate data dependencies and potential concurrency issues between parallelized tests
• Implemented many key automation framework features including the ability to easily automate emails, running all tests through a proxy, continuous test integration, seemless test teardown capabilities, transparent window handling in WebDriver, and many others

• Wrote end to end automation that covered critical functional testing for high risk, revenue impacting functionality
• Ported suite of automated regression tests from PHP to C# to help consolidate automated tests into one language
• Constructed and implemented a new automation framework which allowed for easy automated test creation
• Migrated automation tests and their framework from Selenium 1 to WebDriver (Selenium 2), which assisted in providing IE/Chrome support, as well as reliability and performance improvements
• Created and implemented a set of browser compatibility tests that ran in parallel utilizing SauceLabs technology. This allowed for a large amount of browser/OS coverage in a short period of time.
• Functionally tested new features as well as wrote automation in parallel to ensure automated coverage for future regression testing
• Maintained responsible test areas to have fewer than 0.25% revenue impacting issues

Jul 2005 – May 2011 · 5 yrs 10 mos

• Implemented the WebDriver platform (Java) into a new automation framework for automated testing.
• Implemented current code library to be navigation independent and maintained a 97% pass rate for the automated test suite.
• Modified VM pages to help tie automation code in to allow for consistent and precise test running.
• Managed code base to account for user interface changes.
• Helped implement parallelized automated test runs into Amazon’s EC2 cloud service
• Helped implement test runs to run automatically against multiple web browsers via CruiseControl and report test results to a centralized database (SQL) to allow for release testing statistics.
• Implemented core functionalities into our automated framework such as multiple window capabilities, unique transaction handling, location aware web elements, and automated test report statistics.
• Managed the upgrade process to provide optimal compatibility for WebDriver to the latest source files.
• Diagnosed computer hardware combinations to optimize build time improvements.
