Currently serving as a QA Lead - Performance Engineering at Persistent Systems Ltd, where I lead and manage performance engineering activities. My role involves overseeing and executing performance testing, analyzing test results, and providing recommendations for performance optimization. Key responsibilities and accomplishments include:

• Leading a team of performance engineers and coordinating with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.

• Responsible for stress testing with 150k users and providing recommendations. This has helped with 30% of overall accuracy to live users.

• Utilizing tools like Loadrunner, Neoload, and Dynatrace to conduct performance testing and analyze test results.

• Implementing performance monitoring and observability solutions to ensure high-performing and scalable software solutions.

• Contributing to developing performance engineering best practices and mentoring junior team members.

• Developed prototypes and conducted testing that validated product performance and reliability using Loadrunner (SAP GUI, SAP web, Http/Html, Trueclient and APIs).

• Optimized the application’s performance by implementing caching as real user and using memory-efficient structures for protocols as Trueclient.

• Developed and implemented a performance testing strategy to ensure application performance under load.

• Conducted performance and load testing to identify and address performance issues, which has helped the client resolve the issue before going live.

• Enhancing performance by transitioning to LR scripts using Fiddler scripts.

• Received a "Pat On The Back" certificate in recognition of my timely deliverables and client appreciation.

• Created test cases and conducted manual testing to identify and fix software defects before release.

• Developed test plans, test cases, and test scripts for manual and automated testing

• Ensured compliance with company policies and procedures, resulting in a successful audit with no outstanding issues

• Established and maintained relationships with key stakeholders to ensure alignment with business objectives and code delivered by us.

• Developed automated test suites that increased test coverage by 35%, resulting in more reliable system performance.

• Conducted POC with different Performance Test Tool to ensure the system performance meets the requirements within budget.

• Understanding the application architecture and based on it, recommend the protocol suited for testing.

• Developed test metrics to track progress, identify areas of improvement and evaluate system performance

• Housekeeping of data on a yearly basis to analyze the projection of the upcoming year.
• Migration of project to other establishment.
• Manual Testing for different users and revoking the access whenever required.
• Maintained up-to-date documentation of application features, ensuring ease of use for all stakeholders involved in ongoing projects.

• Development and implementation of NFRs per agreed strategies and protocols.

• Release Testing - Responsible for each release and implementing changes on the front-end to LR scripts.

• Monitoring the traces for execution time-frame in AppDynamics and logging the defect with traces for high response time.

• Coordinate with the development team and the client to demonstrate the scripts and test report.

• Empowering engineering graduates with comprehensive LoadRunner training.

• Creating proof of concepts tailored to different client within the allocated budget.

• SAP Performance Testing: Had developed custom framework for thick client application and reduced the scripting effort by 40%
