• Code/validate/integrate the C++ script in .NET server as a part of automation task to build a stable infrastructure for smoke and functionality testing and reduce the reliance on manual testing. Maintain test server for 24 hours to run test cases irrespective of time and location. Using remote access to provide results for any bug fix or new feature implementation anytime for both development and validation.
• Write apps in Visual Basic for windows platform to test the input and output validity during development phase of new feature implementation specific to OEM’s. These are not part of general display driver implementation, this effort is to minimize risk before commencing UI testing for vendor.
• Plan validation activity from Proof of Concept to implementing new features and testing the same in different phases of software development life cycle to successfully release the feature/display driver with minimum defects.
• Scrub all defects and identify blockers based on priority. Schedule meetings with development and Project Managers to keep them updated about work in progress, new defects, priority of defects based on increase in pass percentage after fix. Provide overall health of driver in the cycle to predict any show stoppers or potential blockers for future releases.
• Validation/debug/implementation/integration of automation frame work for validation activity with in-house tool to minimize the dependency on manual validation and provide results with less turnaround time to meet the release deadline and save man hours.
• Involved in optimization of smoke/functionality/stress test process to test only required items than overload the validation process i.e. classify test cases based on impact for each feature and run light/standard/full suit planned based on number of change list and new features checked-in.
