Overview
Synergy Technology Group, Inc provided software services for a local medical company in San Diego region. The customer required a new system to store test results for various medical testing, such as hormones and neurotransmitters.
Responsibilities
My duties were to provide consultation services for ensuring the system was designed, implemented and tested in accordance with the customer’s needs. The software project was managed, designed, coded, and tested by myself. I approach the design phase of the project with a mixture of agile and water fall methodology. The initial system design composed of customer meetings, mocked system with various design documents. A balance between a flexible design that contained precision in areas of scientific recordings.
After the design phase I interpreted the design into Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 using C#. The code was written using MVC approach with a front end that used the Windows Presentation Foundation Layer. The database was designed using Microsoft’s Code First via the entity framework. My duties were to ensure all requirements were coded in C# via the above technologies. Regular meetings between me and the customer ensured an iterative approach was utilized to refine design changes and defect fixes. Additionally, part of my role was to ensure an automation testing suite was developed and maintained. The test suite was written AUTOIT and was further used to exhaustively test the system.

Overview
CGU is a leading insurance provider in Australia. They assist Australian businesses to manage complex risks.
Responsibilities
CGU’s Claim Transformation program involved an upgrade from a mainly paper driven insurance system to Guidewire’s software system. During my time at CGU I developed automation software test based off the existing system automation regression suite. The existing automation tests were modified to ensure system integration testing was performed for each interface. Each interface was shaken and later on combinatorics was applied to test thousands of service requests via the Service Oriented Architecture middleware, which would subsequently test the back end providers/consumers.
In conjunction with the Automation System Integration testing, I was subcontracted out to the SOA section to ensure system verification and validation SOA services via the use of stubs/mock services. As part of the SOA testing role I was required to analyze design specifications and develop a sufficient test plan that would drive a automation regression to exhaustively test all combinations and negatives for a particular operational request. For example search and retrieve policies, payment requests, document search and retrieve and etc. SOA testing required assessment of mapping sheets and system logs to be analyzed in accordance with design specification.
