Promoted

Apr 2012 – Feb 2017 · 4 yrs 10 mos

Currently working as Section Manager at NVIDIA, and heading team of 7 engineers.
Primary function of team is to do Upstream Testing, Regression Testing, New Feature Testing, Direct Testing, Integration Testing, and Build Acceptance Testing
Along with UpStream testing, team also work on:
1) RCCA Process: Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Action
a) In this project primary focus is on Customer/End User/Reviewers bug to identify why bugs/issues couldn’t be captured during in-house testing
b) Identify the gaps and come-up with different test approaches/proposals to avoid same failures in future
2) External User Acceptance (Beta) Testing:
a) Work on understanding the release priorities (new features, new hardware, new OS supported, new Desktop/Notebook Platform supported) and design plan accordingly
b) This phase of testing takes place when entire system testing is done, and software product is about to go live to world
For all above projects: Need to identify the test areas/test cases (FVTs/BVTs), identify the priorities for different releases (sustenance, current and next projects release), work over designing a test plan, IEEE Test Plan Document to define test strategy, identify the test efforts/resource requirement. Followed by working with Stakeholders, Marketing Team, and Business owners to put the plan across, conduct the live test plan/strategy review, and get proposal approved. Once plan is finalized work with SWQA management team to get the execution rolling.
