==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.
