• Microsoft Azure Storage
• Test new features for Azure Storage (scalable and highly available distributed cloud storage platform for Windows Azure customers exposed via REST APIs) which involves deep understanding of the feature, thorough test planning, test design, implementation, and test execution.
• Worked on features related to caching, SLB probing, retry policies to name a few.
• Owned testing the “Front-End” component (first layer of the backend) for the new high performance, low latency, I/O sensitive premium storage service.
• Stress test the Azure Storage backend to uncover scale, performance and reliability issues by putting the system under high traffic ( high IOPs, large ingress/egress) and fault injection scenarios
• Add new mechanisms, workloads and scenarios to the house-grown automation and stress testing frameworks - namely StressClient1 (SC1) and Stress Client Test Engine (SCTE) written in C# to increase stress test coverage.
• Added workloads which simulated high priority IAAS type traffic, SQL traffic patterns and Xbox style table traffic patterns.
• Stress test Windows Azure Storage Client Library. Also write test code snippets using Windows Azure Storage Client Library to quickly repro bugs and potential customer issues.
• Quick turnaround and signoff on fixes and features for hotfix releases targeted to mitigate the live-site incidents
• Analyze test reports and monitor test tenant health measured in terms of availability and latencies
• Perform TOTD (Tester of the Day) responsibilities which include investigating availability issues, data mismatches, and partition downtimes on both test and product side
• Debug failures for operations which span over multiple servers
• Review peer’s test automation code
