Work Term Update-August 2016

Edit Deposit Changes

The month of August was busy. My first task was to modify CMD Server so that we can update the expected amount of a deposit from the mobile app. This was one of the moments where I realized just how much I had learned this semester. This task was much easier then a similar task was earlier in the semester.

New API Call 

I also worked on a new API call in CMD server. This was the first time I had added anything completely new to the server. I liked how I was able to apply my knowledge from earlier in the semester to make this task easier.

Wrapping up my last work term

During my last week at NCR I wrapped up all my tasks and gave lots of knowledge transfer sessions in order to prepare for my departure. 

This semester was by far my favourite. I was given so many opportunities and I learned so much. I became a better developer and tester and I am so thankful for my co-workers who helped make that happen.  

Work Term Update-July 2016

Regression Testing

The month of July involved another round of regression testing. During this round of regression I tested reports while running our system in a Linux environment. I wrote many documents for other testers since I had some knowledge about certain features that not everyone knew. I also gave knowledge transfer sessions to members of the testing team. I also tested the different languages we offer and updated some of our out of date test cases.

Work Term Update-June 2016

Bug Fixes

During the month of June I made several bug fixes. This was a great learning experience. I learned how to ask better questions to the testers so that I could get to the root of the problem faster, I also learned how to narrow down the location of the bug in the code faster.

Item Reclassification in CMD

The item reclassification in CMD was much more involved than my team first anticipated. Once we had the feature implemented we realized that we also needed to bring over more features from the web application in order for item reclassification to work seamlessly. I made changes on both the server side and the client side.

Work Term Update-May 2016

I worked on three things during the month of May

CMD Reclassification

I worked on the CMD Server to allow items to be reclassified. This was a really fun experience. I really enjoyed the learning that took place in changing the REST API.

CMD Tablet UI Work

This month I also got to make some changes to the CMD Client so that we can support tablets in addition to phones. This was my first experience with Angular JS and it was really enjoyable. This experience also helped me with the bug fixes I did this month.

Bug Fixes

I also made many bug fixes this month. I learned a lot and became better at narrowing down the root cause of issues.
