Work History

Senior Test Lead & Test Architect

IQVIA (Internal Project)
Training Plan
01.2024 - Current
  • This project was initiated at IQVIA to automate and simplify the compliance training process for a large workforce, with varied designations and training needs.
  • It includes three main components: the Training Plan Portal for managing training plans, the Learning Edge Portal for trainee access, and a Bot for seamless integration and automation.
  • The Training Plan Portal involves three key roles: Administrator (overall control), Owner (plan-level control), and Approver (approval of plans). Training plans include goals, audiences, and activities, and are published post-approval.
  • Training plans are structured using a combination of the training plan name, audience alias, goal name, and location. They are published in cycles, and changes are auto-applied using the Interim Course Change Log.
  • The Bot, built using Java-Selenium, automates data synchronization between the portals, manages exceptions, and sends automated email notifications.
  • A total of 281 defects have been identified and resolved during testing, with zero issues found in both UAT and production, ensuring high quality and reliability.
  • Hewlett-Packard ALM was used for test scenario execution and defect tracking, enabling thorough testing coverage across both development and business analytics functions.

CHATBOT
11.2022 - 01.2024
  • This project is divided into two main modules: a Console for configuration and management, and a Chat Bot that interacts with users based on the provided information.
  • There are three user roles: Portal Admin (can add users), Tenant Admin, and Tenant User, each with different access levels and permissions.
  • The Chat Bot responds to user queries using integrated APIs, document search, and a structured FAQ system with categories like question, answer, and topic.
  • Multi-tenant and role-based access control ensures that data visibility and bot responses are appropriately restricted and customized for each user.
  • I raised 181 defects during testing and recommended several enhancements, contributing to improved functionality and increased project scope. Hewlett-Packard ALM was used for scenario execution and defect tracking.
