onboard system and software. I wrote the software verification validation test
cases and test procedures. I wrote certification documents including system
requirements, software requirements, design requirements, software code
standards, requirements traceability, verification results documents. I verified
the deliverable software using target hardware and simulated inputs. I
delivered the documents and software to the external customers. I controlled
the source code, deliverable object software and documentation with
ClearCase. I used Seapine’s TestTrack and ClearQuest for bug tracking. I trained
new testers on the embedded and Windows systems under test, how to
simulate inputs with our test station, documentation, and TestTrack,
ClearCase, ClearQuest, Visual Studio, Tornado.
