The project involved of the Defense Case Activity Tracking System – Enterprise (DCATSe) is an enterprise case management system that can track, collect, manage and report information about allegations of fraud, waste, abuse and administrative investigations that result from these allegation. DCATSe provides the ability to quickly and accurately share this information within a single system.

• Worked on Agile QA testing for government applications by reviewing business requirements, technical specifications, functional documents, and acceptance criteria before starting testing.
• Wrote test scenarios, test cases, test procedures, test data, and expected results based on business requirements and application workflows.
• Wrote test cases for positive, negative, boundary, and exception scenarios to make sure different types of user actions were covered.
• Conducted Functional, GUI, Black Box, Integration, System, Smoke, Sanity, Regression, and UAT testing across development, testing, and release environments.
• Tested application forms, navigation, field validations, calculations, error messages, data saving, role-based access, and workflow processes.
• Conducted regression testing after application changes and reviewed failed test cases to determine whether the issue was related to an application defect, test data, environment, or automation script.
• Wrote and maintained defect reports in JIRA with clear steps to reproduce, expected results, actual results, severity, priority, screenshots, logs, and test evidence.
• Worked closely with developers and business analysts to reproduce defects, discuss expected behavior, verify fixes, conduct retesting, and check the regression impact of changes.
• Participated in Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Backlog Refinement, Sprint Review, and Retrospective meetings and discussed testing progress, risks, dependencies, and release priorities.
• Perform all required QA checks and maintain documentation to DOD Plain Language standards as defined at Perform all required QA checks and maintain documentation to DoD Plain Language standards as defined.
• Wrote automation Java scripts using Test Complete tools.
• Created Data-Driven and Object-Driven automation components that used external test data and helped reduce duplicate automation code.
• Reviewed automation reports and investigated failed test cases by checking logs, screenshots, error messages, and application behavior.
• Wrote and ran SQL queries against SQL Server and Oracle databases to check application data using SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, JOIN, and database constraint checks.

The project involved of the National Airspace System (NAS) Integrated Status Insight System (NISIS) application is a dynamic Common Operating Picture (COP) platform. This application strengthens the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) ability to conduct incident management in the face of disasters (e.g., catastrophic hurricanes or earthquakes) and other significant incidents (e.g., terrorist attacks) affecting the NAS.

This COP includes two interactive core components: Geographic Information System (GIS)-based platform, providing a geospatial and graphic (e.g., data-rich icons), visually focused interface Database-driven, structured data field-centric platform providing a text-, tabular-, and graph-focused interface
