Itdp Intern

Capital One · Rolling Meadows IL

Presented to senior leadership, and won 1st (tied) out of 30 intern teams for the intern case competition. In which I managed both the project and coordinated the programming to complete a large portion of "Selenium Factory" (viewable on my github or website). In essence, the program/project should increase their coverage, as well as the productivity of their quality assurance testers by 6000%+. I completed about 80% of the project during four weeks of my internship and it should be in production within the year. Determined which automated mobile testing service (i.e. BrowserStack, SauceLabs, Perfecto Mobile, appurify, etc.) is most compatible with Capital One's testing framework. Met with companies, load tested service(s), compared prices, then generating a business case for what I feel is the best service.
