Project 1: Test Automation Engineer Exodus

Responsible for developing, running and maintaining custom inbuilt automated test
suites in desktop, mobile and browser versions.
Developed the automation solution on a framework enabling the reusability of
common test automation. Regular reporting of test results, the automation solutions
were integrated into CI, and notifications to wider project and executive audience.
Maintaining close contact with the manual testing team and developers, tracking
progress across Asana and participating in regular scrums and sprint reviews

Project 2: Test Automation Engineer Attabotics.

Automate the test suite for their solution. Building the end-to-end test automation suite
for their integrated product offering, integrating into CI and training developers and
permanent test automation engineers to maintain and manage the solution. Automated
guides and developed processes and procedures for the automation strategy. Oversaw
the work of 4 remote automation developers and three offshore contract automation
developers.

Working with agile, collaborated with manual testers, developers, tech writers, and
tech support. Developed a common automation framework. The automation solutions
were integrated into CI and reporting available in DevOps. Wrote onboarding guides,
how-tos, and automation documents. Established automation code reviews and PRs.
DESIRABLE PROVISIONS

1. Experience in creating automated test suites for system testing, security testing,
performance testing, and/or load testing. A Response should list and describe, at
least, one (1) project and the proposed resource’s roles, responsibilities, and
contributions to the project. (1,250 characters)

Project 1: Quality Assurance Specialist at TransCanada

As Lead Test Automation Engineer, together with another test automation specialist,
developed and ran performance tests on a high-value, high-visibility project.
We had to develop a performance capability profile that would ensure the solution
could meet the needs of the business. We successfully determined the system's load,
capacity, stress, scalability and recoverability levels in scaled representations of the
final prod environment. We eventually included the load component in the CI process
so that the team has regular updates on system performance during changes and
enhancements.

Project 2: Test Automation Engineer at Attabotics Inc.

Run a performance test to determine order processing core processes' order-handling
capability. Writing PowerShell scripts that would read order performance metrics from
the server memory performance monitor and map that with the order telemetry to an
Excel file. I then used pivot tables, bar charts and line charts to graph performance
metrics. The effort identified key problem areas that required a redesign of certain
components.

2. Experience in automating test environments and test data generation. A Response

should list and describe, at least, one (1) project and the proposed resource’s roles,
responsibilities, and contributions to the project. (1,250 characters)
Project 1: Quality Assurance Specialist at TransCanada
Created an automation framework that built an isolated, fully functional local virtual
environment complete with dynamic test data and ran e2e, functional and integrated
tests to apply environment setup and test data generation utility.
Created multiple pipelines simulating customers with accurate test data and was able to
run the flow simulations multiple times during testing.
Packaged this component of the automation solution into a PowerShell script that
would complete the setup and installation of the solution and simulated pipeline
network. SMEs, BAs, manual testers, and technical support staff

Project 2 title: Test Automation Engineer at Attabotics Inc.

engineer develops an environment setup script to install a local simulated inventory

management solution with POS.
Setting up the solution on the local system meant installing around half a dozen
executables, tweaking up to 20 registry values, and setting up databases and
 configurations for connections and point-of-sale specs.

Developed script for automation to enable the quick setup of a fully interactive local
inventory management system. The script would create, remove or reset local
environments, and complete cleansed customer databases to insure compliance and
security.
This utility became widely used by manual testers, tech writers and customer technical
support as now they could easily recreate and generate local setups on their own.

3. Experience working collaboratively with stakeholders and users to understand the

context of a solution and define test cases and scenarios. A Response should list
and describe, at least, one (1) project and the proposed resource’s roles,
responsibilities, and contributions to the project. (1,250 characters)

Project 1: Test Automation Engineer at Exodus.io

Responsible for test automation across their three product lines.
Initially, the effort was easy enough – understanding their business, the development
environment, the security implications, and the methodology. As time went on, and
upgrades and changes kept coming in at a fast pace, the need to keep in close touch
with cross-functional teams was paramount – to ensure that tests were relevant and
accurate. I would start my day reviewing tickets new, closed, and in-progress tickets
over the previous day. I maintained a regular log of automation progress, issues, and
potential bugs.

Project 2: Alberta Health Services

eCritical Test Lead at AHS. My role was to lead the testing effort for a team of manual
testers, doctors, and other clinical staff through testing, UAT and go-live, as well as
coordinating with vendor technical staff, and project teams.
Implement and set up a COTS healthcare solution for capturing patient-specific critical
care clinical information. I organized sessions with my team and clinical experts to
develop and execute accurate manual and integrated tests
Contributed to writing effective and readable tests with accurate test data, that met
stakeholder and physician expectations, greatly increasing confidence in the test effort
and solution.
Continuous feedback through close collaboration ensured we were always focused on
the right targets,
