==New things I'm learning and trying out==
:''2018''
:* <u>Postman</u> - developing a framework that allows orchestration of calls in any API endpoint collection to mimic a number of typical user sessions with Fiserv's mobile apps. Also designing it to be re-usable across many testing, certification, and production environments, and for any Financial Institution configured in those environments. Previous API automation suites were all close tied to a specific data configuration of a mocked environment, and could not be used in fully integrated environments.
 
:''2017''
:* Primarily focusing on learning the product and testing domain as they apply to my new Test Engineering role at [[Curriculum_Vitae_-_Vincent_Dirks#Intermediate_Test_Engineer_-_Fiserv_.28Jan_2017_-_Current.29|Fiserv]]
:** Extended internal SpecFlow (C#) suite of API automation checks for our interface with Card Services
:** Powershell scripts to help make manual deployments more efficient.
 
:''Dec 2016''
:*I am starting on [[Katrina Clokie's Mobile Testing Pathway]]
 
:''Nov 2016''
:*I did a [[W3C tutorial on XPATH]]. I'll give it a go next time I write some web automation scripts.
:*Made a [[Protractor and node.js automation suite for Crimson Login Page]]
:*Made a [[Selenium automation suite for www.provokesolutions.com]]
 
:''Oct 2016''
:*bootcamp@elementalselenium.com
:*''Selenium'' - setting it up on my mac with Maven. Exploring it with ole.saintkentigern.com.
:*''Bootstrap'' - writing a static page showing 10 iFrames to show on a mobile - no joy so far
:*''HTML'' - showing 10 iFrames side by side horizontally, one for each subject my son has at school.
 
:''Sep 2016''
:*''WikiMedia'' - using the wikipedia engine to set up this cvwiki and other wiki's
