Building testing frameworks - both at UI and back-end levels, as well as the performance testing framework. Test library implementation (database connection module, test data manipulation, logging, back-end service interfacing) used by all teams, as well as a set of guidelines and design patterns to be followed when setting up new testing projects for different products. The testing frameworks are based on Java + TestNg and Maven, Selenium Webdriver and JMeter + Java for performance testing.

Functional and non-functional testing - both manual and automated. I used a tool from HP for managing test cases - creation, maintenance, test planning and running, and reporting. Using Jira for managing project tasks in an agile fashion. As for test automation, I used Java, TestNg, MySQL, Selenium, Rest, and HttpClient. All testing projects were integrated with Jenkins. Using Linux for debugging failures on different servers. For performance testing, we were using HP Load Runner.
