Built a scalable and robust testing framework that supports tests as pluggable modules. It forms the basis of running all future tests. The framework exposes a bunch of utility functions that aid in running/designing test cases. The test cases themselves could be written by anyone by importing the base files and the framework would run all the tests in the module and create a log file for each test. ### Program Analyst @ Cognizant Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 Mobile Performance Testing Analyzed Java, Web and Mobile banking applications from a performance perspective using Load Runner Designed, analyzed and implemented test cases for applications. Executed Tests and monitored vital System Stats like garbage collection graphs, JVM Heap ,Memory, CPU and network Utilization of DB, Application and Web Server. Analyzed potential bottlenecks at every point in the n-tiered application. ## Education ### Master’s Degree in Computer Science University at Buffalo ### Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Information Technology COEP Technological University ### C.B.S.E in Science Choithram Indore ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/yashvijay --- Source: https://flows.cv/yashv JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/yashv/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-12
