DT Soft Ltd – Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine
QA Engineer/Automation
April 2011 – January 2012
DT Soft Ltd. specialises in developing disc image emulation and burning and mastering disc software.
It has a large family of supportive websites such as online shops, customer service, and product
information websites. This position included working with those web applications and performing
various types of tasks.
Achievements:
* Established test automation in the company and successfully integrated it within the company’s
development process. Implemented a data-driven approach in test automation.
* Initiated the development and maintenance of projects through the continuous integration process.
Responsibilities:
* Writing test plans, designing test cases for testing web applications

* Usability, compatibility, security, performance testing
* Bug managing in bug tracking system
* Working with developers and managers, developing technical documentation

3. Projects:
Product server
The purpose of the project was to create a new licenses activation server with a new database structure
and improved back end for managers. As the activation server was connected to an online-shop and
some other services it was important to learn how the old activation server worked in order to preserve
the dependencies and other services work while creating a new licenses activation server.
The role in the project:
* Learned how the old product licenses activation server worked (both client and server side).
* Documented the server-side work on MediaWiki (client request and server response for different
user stories). This important information had never been documented before. Therefore, due to
the code being written a long time ago, it was very difficult for developers to add functionality or
to perform code refactoring, and for testers to test it.
* Designed test cases for testing new activation server work.
* Created an HTML form for developers to easily choose different request parameters for different test
cases and to immediately receive the response message or an activation code (after developers
implemented their work). It helped developers in testing at the lower levels as they could see the
result of their work without actually having to install an original product and activate a license, or
prolong or change the license.
* Tested the new licenses activation server by installing the original products and checking the
server response for different test cases.
* Managed bugs (Mantis).
* Worked closely with the developer team and project manager
* Automated regression tests for licenses activation server work (PHP, Selenium)
* Documented a new database structure and activation server work algorithm (dbForge and flow
charts)
License managing – back end
The purpose of the project was to improve the product licenses back end structure and interface. The
back end contains the information about users accounts, their trial and paid licenses, the different types
of statistic information for managers.
The role in the project:
* Learned the old back end structure and together with business and project managers decided
about the necessary functionality that must stay in the new back end version.
* Discussed a new back end interface and functionality with business and project managers and
documented the requirements.
* Collaborated closely with the developer team, being a link between them and the business
managers.
Disc-Soft – software online shop
The purpose of the project was to integrate a new product licenses activation server with the online
shop, to change or to add new functionality, to automate regression test suites.
The role in the project:
* Worked closely with the business managers to discuss the new functionalities of the online shop,
changes to old functionality.
* Documented new user stories and change requiremements, was a link between business
managers and developer team explaining the manager's requirements to the developers in
technical language.
* Designed regression test suite for online shop (functionality testing)
* Automated regression test suite for Disc-soft online shop (Selenium,PHP)

4. MountSpace
The purpose of a project was to create a media information portal containing DAEMON Tools mount
statistics. The information about a disc is gathered through the client widget at the time a DAEMON
Tools user mounts a disc. This information then is being sent to the server to process it. After processing,
the MountSpace portal reveals this information to the users. In the future a project is planned that will
aim to add more functionality to the portal and transform it into a social network for DAEMON Tools
software users.
The role in the project:
* Developed the functional requirements together with the project manager.
* Created the technical documentation about database structure and protocols description used in
developing, closely collaborated with the developer team.
* Designed user stories and automated test suites for essential functionalities of the widget and
web portal (Selenium, PHP).
* Exploratory and error guessing testing of the first widget and web portal release, and bugs
managing (Mantis).
* Made useful suggestions about some usability improvements.
Different projects (product information websites, search engine website, products
advertising websites, user guides and support websites)
The role in these projects:
* Designed regression test suites for the websites functionality, automated tests (Selenium, Zend_
Http_Client , PHP), maintained test scripts (Hudson, SVN).
* Documented all the information about starting web test automation for others from the QA team,
helped some testers with the automation basics understanding.
* Performed usability and compatibility testing.
* Did the research about performance and security testing, tools review, designed test cases and
executed load testing (JMeter) and security testing (Acunetix Web Security Scaner).
2 Freelance volunteering
PHP developer
January 2011 – April 2011
Although I obtained substantial programming knowledge at university, I was not taught PHP and
therefore endeavoured to learn this language on my own. After acquiring a comfortable level of
knowledge, I worked on a small project - creating a photographer’s portfolio website with back end
(possibility to add, delete, rename photo categories and photographs).
Technology used: CodeIgniter Framework, Adobe Flash.
