• Performed controlled performance and power consumption testing on intel chips in their GFX driver SDLC.
• Managed all aspects of testing on a weekly or more frequent basis, checking for improved performance and benchmarking to ensure no regressions were present in each release.
• Prepared the test cases for automated testing, which allowed us much more closely controlled variables in a lab enviorment, reducing errors and increased productivity by running tests 24/7 rather than only 8 hours each day.
• Developed all of the BKM's (Best Known Methods) documentation and disseminated the material to other technicians to use for reference.
• Incorporated a standard checklist for others to replicated our testing procedures, reducing errors and false data regression. I also spearheaded the scripting of our tests which allowed us to increase the number of benchmarks more than %400.
