Worked on integrating firewall features from AMD Pensando Data Processing Unit (DPU) to Aruba Cx10K Smart switches.

• Created test plans for DPU features like connection tracking, session reuse, service insertion, security rule based enabling/disabling of features and compact security policies.
• Manual tested firewall features like connection tracking, session reuse, service bypass, security rule based enabling/disabling of features, compact security policies, 24K security rule policies, Application Level Gateways (ALG), flow sync between two redundant Cx10k switches, NAT, IPsec, flow log export and IPfix.
• Created and ran performance tests to check 400Gbps DPU traffic throughput and latency. Created reports and presented to management for various releases.
• Automated service insertion test cases in python.
• Automated scaled configuration to DPU controller in python by using REST APIs.
• Manually tested DPU controller UI.

Environment: Ixia Explorer, Ixia Networks, Ixia Breaking Point, VMWare, GIT

• Python scripts were developed using pyATS to test QoS/ACL/
  /port-mirroring testcases.
• Verified quality of service features like classification, marking, policing, scheduling, shaping, WRED and Queue management on datacenter Nexus switches.

Environment: GIT, Linux, IxNetwork, Tetration, Postman, VMware vSphere Client, Docker

• Automated pushing data to cloud. Statistics was collected from a test device using a python script and uploaded to mLab using parse server as back end.
• Contributed to an internal Python framework using pytest and various Python modules.
• Automated test cases using internal Python framework.
• MPLS and BGP System testing: wrote test plan, reviewed test plan and worked on manual testing on platform independent devices using VMware.

Environment: Linux, IxExplorer, IxANVL, VMware vSphere Client, Jenkins

• MPLS and BGP System testing: wrote test plan, reviewed and worked on manual testing on platform independent devices using VMware.

• Automated IGMPv3 and PIM-SSM test cases in Java.
• Automated IxANVL conformance suite for IGMPv3 and PIM-SSM testing.
• Automated Regression execution using Jenkins jobs.
• Involved in test plan preparation, manual test execution and code review of automated System Test for Multicast (IGMPv3, MLD, PIMv4/v6) in VRFlite.
• Involved in test plan preparation, manual test execution and code review of automated System Test for inter VRFlite routing feature.

Environment: Linux, IxExplorer, IxANVL, VMware vSphere Client, Jenkins

• Automated ISIS test cases in Java.
• Automated IxANVL conformance suite for IPv6, OSPFv2/v3, NSSA, BGP testing.
• Fixed errors in sanity test scripts.
• Build and tested platform independent testbeds.

Environment: Linux, IxExplorer, IxANVL, VMware vSphere Client, GaleForce MRV

• Automated test cases using TCL/TK for VLAN filter,
  Throughput, MIB operation, DSCP to PBIT mapping, IGMP, Rate limiting, MAC limiting, Performance monitoring, software upgrade, QoS classification, QoS marking, QoS scheduler, IPv6, LACP, License management.
• Used IXIA for testing throughput, DSCP to pbit mapping, rate and MAC limiting.
• Used Spirent for IPv6, QoS etc. Spirent was configured, results collected by scripting
• Used Shenick for IGMP testing. Verified IGMP stats using Shenick.
• Executed and automated test cases on a release basis, reported failures and worked with software developer till the closure of the bug.
• Reported test results to company internal web site using HTML.
• Used CVS/clearcase for version control and MHweb for test case management.

Environment: Solaris, Linux, IXIA, Spirent test center, Fortissimo, Dell switch, Optical switch

• Automated test cases for features like IGMP,Residential VLAN etc. These were integrated to the SuperBatch for testing every FTTU software release.
• Has working knowledge of Clear Case for versioning and DDTS (Distributed Defect Tracking System) as a bug reporting tool.
• Worked as code review lead for the team. Formulated checklists for code review, which resulted in better code quality.
• Part of FTTU Taskforce for identifying automatable domains.
• Provide technical solution to issues faced by testing team across projects.

Environment: Solaris, Linux, traffic generator PCTA, Spirent test center, Alcatel OmniSwitch 6550.

This project involved automation testing of Aruba Mobility controllers 3200 and 2400 series along with thin wireless Access points (AP) AP 60, 65,70 etc. The APs are connected to a controller which acts as a command center for APs. The controller
supports features like DHCP, VLAN, VRRP, ACL etc.

• Automated simple testcases for VRRP and ACL.

Environment: Solaris Ubuntu Linux, Windows, Environment: Odyssey client etc.

WTAS is an automation tool which can be used for execution of scripts written in TCL and Perl.

• Added support for Perl script execution from WTAS.
• Added support for comparing logs and raising an alarm, in case the present build fails.
• Localized WTAS from English to French, German, Chinese and Korean languages.
• Added support for Windows GUI automation from WTAS by using Perl modules.
• Added support for Web GUI automation by integrating with Selenium.

Environment: Solaris, Linux, Windows, TCL/TK, Perl script etc.
