- Using agile methodology over 6 two-week long sprints, I successfully completed 30 stories which correspond to the following:
- Developed a tool in python, named Pckl, to maximize the efficiency for documenting the infrastructure automation source code; Pckl searches and collects the variables from the code and formats them in tables for the developers to document. More importantly, Pckl merges the updated/modified source code with the existing documentation.
- Conducted a trade study on testing frameworks, Robot Framework vs. Cucumber, and recommended Robot and integrated it with DevOps pipeline.
- Created acceptance tests for acceptance testing of multiple software components.
- Developed a mkisofs module for Ansible to add the functionality to create and read ISO files through infrastructure as code.
