Work Term Update-May 2015

May was a month where I moved between teams a lot. I mainly switched between CxP testing and Performance testing. Here is what I did this month:

Performance Testing

I started running the performance tests for the different segments of the product. I learned a lot about the different features of JMeter. I also started increasing my knowledge of databases. I am getting more and more comfortable with them. I spent a short amount of time trying to fix one of the scripts that was no longer working but I didn't have much time to dedicate to it so I will have to continue working on it in June. 

CxP Testing

I was asked to help test the second factor authentication that had undergone some major changes this quarter. I really enjoy testing so I was happy to help out. I found CxP very interesting because it was a part of the product I have never really tested thoroughly before. I created test cases and documented them using HP Quality Center and I was asked to perform some demos as a review before we could sign off and say the feature was done. All in all it was a really good learning experience.

These two tasks took up all of my time in May. I'm looking forward to being a part of the regression test team in June and working more on the performance testing.
