the POC for Automating UI Layouts using Galen Framework.
o Integrating Automation tests with Test Case Management
tool, which will let stakeholders know the exact metrics

o Integration of Automation with Jenkins so that the
Regression suite is run as soon as the Build is given and
there is no manual intervention to run the suite.

4. o Automating the GA Events that are key to get the Metrics in

Editorial is the backend piece of a larger Ad center system. System does
Manual and/or Automated Decision to be made based on Ads/Keywords

market specific decisions are taken. A Review tool helps manual reviews to be

• Automation of both Backend (SOAP API) / Frontend (Standalone
application)
• Improved the overall Regression Pass Percentage from 80 to 95%.
• Backend Performance Testing -

3. Yahoo! Projects
Tools – Bugzilla, Selenium, SVN

5. I was involved Functional/Compatibility/Usability testing of the web
applications. I closely worked with US Teams and coordinated with the PM’s.
Some of these projects were picked out of interest and I contributed largely to
the feature testing. I also mentored folks during the projects as the number of
features increased.
Roles
• Building Test Plans, ensuring specs are proper and filing Spec Bugs from the
Product Stand point early in the cycle
• UI Automation using Selenium RC – Automated around 500+ test cases in a
span of 4-5 months.
• Visited the Team in US, worked closely with them and came back to drive
the features from testing side (Search Monkey Project)
4. Organizational Initiatives
 Evangelized Tools
1) Introduced Code Review Tool and Guidelines as a process (Crucible –
Atlassian). Over 200 code reviews have been done in Automation team
and code is more stable and is thoroughly reviewed.
2) Evangelized the JSDoc tags to be used for better documentation across
Automation teams at Hubzu.
3) CI – Worked with Operations team to ensure CI is set up for Automated
tests. All suites are added in the XML that drives the workflow to run
automated tests parallel and HTML report is attached in Jenkins with
mail notification sent by Sahi.
4) Proposed a Defect Management tool (Cugger) / Check In tool
(Checkmate) across the Microsoft IDC Bangalore center.
 Layout Automation

6. 1) With the multifold problems of Functional team verifying the Layout of
the GUI, we built a Automation framework using Galen
2) With Galen, a typical home page UI testing (Across 4-5 major browsers,
2-3 mobile devices) that takes a day or two, takes less than 5-10
minutes.
3) Major advantage of the Galen Framework is it works on Selenium and
also finds misalignment that the naked eye cannot detect.
 Usability and Accessibility
1) Conducted Accessibility and Usability Training program across Yahoo!
India Bangalore.
