  Performance Lead

  I am a key member of providing estimates and planning all QA activities in the team. I have also worked on automating repetitive performance testing activities like performing daily executions in development environment and sending a comprehensive performance report to development teams as part of Agile process. I have also automated the process of creating performance test reports. Used tools like Jenkins, JMeter, Performance Center for daily performance test automation. Leveraged APIs of various tools like Wily Introscope, Splunk, Performance Center etc. for automating the metric collection and daily reporting. Developed a framework for maintaining and executing performance test scripts in LoadRunner. Involved in all phases of performance testing and stay op at all the deliverables ensuring the highest quality output. Working closely with the with the development to identify the scenarios on various technologies (JAVA, REST, AngularJS, Web-Services, Micro-Services etc.). Reproduced critical performance defects and helped fixing them early in the software development phases. Show less
