Responsibilities:
This position is responsible for building platform level performance, security test strategy, conduct various types of performance testing in order to measure and analyze system performance (e.g., response times, transaction rates) and verify the system’s ability to meet established performance requirements. Performance requirements will vary based on architectural and business requirements. Develop performance, load & security test scenarios and scripts in support of these objectives. Key Responsibilities Carry out end-to-end performance testing, including requirement gathering, test planning, scripting, execution, analysis and result reporting/sharing with stakeholders. Evaluate system under test (SUT) communication protocol to determine scripting protocol. Have advanced knowledge of programming languages such as JavaScript, Java, Visual Basic, Linux command languages, and other programming languages. Should work closely with product development & implementation, architecture, infrastructure and engineering groups for performance testing and application analysis initiatives to define success criteria and evaluation methodologies. Setting up/designing load test scenarios for various tests; like load test, endurance test, stress test, failover test, etc. Collaborate and coordinate with other dependent teams across the product line to ensure success of overall test run. Collaborate with security team & test engineers to integrate security requirements and testing into overall pipeline strategy Provides subject matter expertise for security testing capabilities. Carries out manual and automated security testing of applications, infrastructure, and/or platforms to discover security vulnerabilities. Performs manual & automated security testing. Performs manual testing to validate vulnerabilities. Monitor server’s utilization during the test run. Implement and maintain DevOps Capabilities, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment practices using test labs and tools. Participate in code reviews for performance test scenarios & create/maintain test data. Evaluate non-functional requirements to determine acceptance criteria. Participate in production log analysis to determine target and peak load models. Develop virtual network test scenarios. Evaluate targeted DI, Feedline and Infrastructure to design and execute network virtualization scenarios. Capture network statistics to be used in network virtualization test scenarios. Upload performance test scenarios, and other artifacts to Subversion and/or other management tools as directed. Work with configuration management to schedule the execution of the performance tests to support the automatic deployment of software. Maintain performance test scenarios & test scripts Perform API performance testing and integrate into CI pipeline. Monitor system level statistics during performance test executions. Develop and submit performance test reports. Analyze performance test results. Gather system performance statistics from front-end and back-end. Correlate front-end and back-end system performance statistics to present comprehensive test reports. Support implementation and maintenance of performance testing tools. Participate in reviews with agile teams and product owners. Work collaboratively and creatively to resolve any testing problems, bottlenecks, or issues. Perform additional testing related tasks may be assigned. Have knowledge and experience with new and emerging performance testing technologies and techniques. Have experience in adapting those new and emerging technologies and techniques to meet the ever changing demands in software development Utilize CI integration tool to support continuous integration specifically related to performance and load testing. Create builds in Jenkins/Gitlab CI/CD for every performance testing engagement to support regression testing. Modify performance testing scenarios to compliment builds executed in Jenkins and other CM and automated deployment tools used as directed. Perform other duties as assigned.
