I was the Lead Automation Engineer for the Cloud Services team.
I spent most of my time working on two main projects that I built from scratch, and that were used by coworkers to write tests for DisneyDB API automation.
The first project was a collection of ruby gems that were written to allow for easy integration with the various DisneyDB Game APIs for the purposes of testing or debugging.
The second was a Rails application that allowed us to automate testing runs, capture the results, and perform historical analysis of testing trends. This allowed us to compare between runs or environments, as well as view historic information on any particular test, environment or product.
