The aim of the project is to automate the Test cases in order to test and validate the various aspects of the
HA(High availability) and MCC features like HANLR,ARL, FANTA and NDU etc. The process also led to discover
some of the product related bugs.
My responsibilities in this project include:
4. To Work as Perl Developer in the core team
5. To independently estimate, automate and test the scenarios using NATE and NACL Framework; that can
validate the specific behavior of the HA and MCC features on varied platforms C-Mode SN.0 and FS.0 to
ensure feature reliability.
6. To Modify Perl modules related to the NATE and NACL framework and fix issues for internal and external
Queries.

The BMU interfaces with sensors, power, thrusters and MTC through special logics. A separate package called BMU
30 for H/W based sun acquisition is included in this project. A functionally redundant BMU will also be present. The
BMU is MA31750 processor based system with adequate memory for program and data. BMU does analog data
acquisition for attitude and temperature sensors, Digital data interface, command and TM interface Each system
comprises of 9 daughter cards interconnecting with Mother Board. Card Testing: Card Testing was done in several
phases namely
Testing of each card by making the setup.
Package Level Testing after integration of all the Cards.
The logic analyzer was extensively used to locate spurious execution and for execution time measurements. The
entire BMU package tested using a dedicated test system, to perform a full-fledged testing to surface any possible
hardware / software bugs. The entire hardware tests were performed in a totally ESD safe environment, under the
supervision of QA personnel. Prepared Card level and Package level Test documents for the above project. My
responsibilities in this project include:
1 To Work as Perl Developer in the core team
2 To Handle client communications and to co-ordinate with the offshore team with their queries
and execute their testing requests at the client lab.
3 To Independently Estimate, Design, Develop and Test modules that can collect and analyze
Data.
