From Vincents CV Wiki
Past Learning Projects
2018
- Postman - 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
- Extended internal SpecFlow (C#) suite of API automation checks for our interface with Card Services
- Powershell scripts to help make manual deployments more efficient.
