QA Engineer Participated in the quality assurance of Symmetrix software to be incorporated onto the Symmetrix Storage Unit. (EMC2) - The Symmetrix Storage platform is widely distributed throughout the world and has an unparalleled level of security and reliability so QA engineering on their system was carried out to a strict set of rules. - I worked as a part of the QAConfig group and we stressed the software and Equipment to its limit as much as possible, we set up numerous configurations of the systems and tested them very stringently to find and report bugs. - The software and fixes we were testing always had to be perfect as the end result was it would be integrated into EMC2 next code release. - Regression testing was a big part of our daily testing to ensure that previous problems didn’t reoccur, regression testing was automated in a lot of cases and could be easily implemented using EMC2 in house system. Reporting of these tests and clearing the system for the next user was the main work load when doing regression. I also ensured that systems running regression code levels could be updated to the new code levels if the customer required. - I also had to monitor and benchmark some of the tests to compare test runs from an old regression next to the latest code release.
