Software Development Engineer in Test
Adobe · Full-time
Jun 2017 - Present
7 yrs 2 mos
Tester for Admin Console, a 19-language portal where Adobe customers purchase/manage software licenses. The site generates considerable revenue and is critical for introducing Adobe initiatives and product offerings like Firefly. Besides manual/automated testing I’ve focused on accessibility (key for Adobe’s biggest customers) and non-English versions of Admin Console. To add value to my testing, I realized the developers’ use of stubs was vulnerable to undocumented data contract changes and timing problems, which only appear in live end-to-end tests. To find these bugs I developed tests with Java/TestNG/Selenium. To speed up test creation I used C# to turn pseudocode into page object models and tests. Running on Jenkins, the tests found problems that would have resulted in support calls had the bugs made it to production. Later some tests were moved to Javascript/Cypress to integrate into the core development environment. Admin Console testing is moving to another team. Now I'm part of a team that owns the system for Adobe's product offerings, promotions etc. I created tests for this system using Java/JUnit/Playwright. As I move into a regular SDE role I’m returning to Javascript and ramping up on React, Rails and Python.
Sr. Software Engineer in Test
Expedia
Oct 2010 - Jun 2017
6 yrs 9 mos
Test lead for TAAP, Expedia's Travel Agent Affiliate Program. Travel agencies use the site to make commissions by booking travel with Expedia, annually generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Expedia. In under a year we launched the site for 32 countries. I wrote automation verifying all 32 sites using Cucumber/Ruby/Watir, then migrated the tests to Scala/ScalaTest as the team’s needs changed. Using C# I added mocks and automation to the developers’ unit tests for the back-end APIs, increasing code coverage by 20%. And, since the dev:test ratio was 8:1 I also taught the developers best practices for testing. Before TAAP, I worked on Expedia's hotel inventory system. In addition to testing service messages via C# I verified the data layer (SQL Server) and investigated live site issues. In my first role at Expedia I was the lead tester for a site used by hoteliers to list their properties on Expedia. UI tests were in C#, database tests in SQL, and services tests were done with soapUI.
