This individual is expected to meet with the team, develop the plan, and then implement anything necessary to accomplish the plan with minimal assistance from the existing team.


The following items will be required (at a minimum) and may change based on internal discussions with the team:

• Develop XML files and structures that contain product specific data and information to allow test and regression systems to run autonomously;

a. This data is currently contained in excel files and will need to be broken out into multiple files for easier maintenance and change management.

b. This data consists of CMIS (Common Management Interface Specification) data, product specific data, customer specific data, signal integrity data, mechanical data, etc.

• Develop software GUI to create, modify, and deploy XML files as well as create binary files for production software from the information within these files (Python/C#);

a. Allows a PDE to update a limited subset of registers and make a release without AEC team getting involved.

b. Allow AEC team to have full R/W access to all registers.

• Modify existing production software to parse created binaries for programming into hardware (VB);

a. Software currently parses excel files.

• Develop JIRA test flows and automation to track testing and regression testing lifecycles and automatically start/stop tests based on the information in the task and associated XML files;

a. Automatically moving tasks between states in Jira.

b. Automatically creating daughter tasks.

c. Tracking changing of these tasks and moving between states when conditions are met.

d. Automatically triggering tests in internal testing framework, customer switches, other test equipment as defined in the XML files.

• Create automated CI/CD testing methodology based on selected hardware that is triggered on git commits;

a. Intended to optimize bug discovery and validation by automatically testing code based on commit.

b. Runs a subset of regression tests, needs to pass on a per PR basis (not a per commit basis).

• Create release/regression testing methodology based on selected hardware (defined in JIRA test flow) that includes testing of high-speed modules in developed test systems, customer network switches, associated internal test systems;

a. This is meant to scale our current regression testing setup.

b. May need to convert our python regression test files to be able to run within a switch.

• Method to confirm our Nimshi production files are properly configured (.shi, templates, linking);

a. Test each dash number within a release, make sure they all program successfully.

• Make sure that cables work as programmed by Nimshi.
