Mitch Allen’s Experience

• Senior Software Developer (Automation SQA Test Engineer)

  Nuance Communications

  (Public Company; NUAN; Computer Software industry)

  March 2007 — Present (2 years 5 months)

  * Burlington, Massachusetts, Healthcare Division
  
  * Responsible for testing two medical voice recognition SDKs: The Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical Runtime SDK and the PowerScribe SDK.
  
  * Created a C# Test Harness for the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical Runtime SDK (DNS-SDK).
  * C# harness dynamically loads and reads info from Assemblies (DLL's) much like NUnit.
  * Assemblies generated through code generation.
  
  * Created a JavaScript test harness using code generation for the PowerScribe SDK (a client/server ActiveX medical voice recognition SDK).
  * Because everything is Web-based, Developers can browse to an internal Web server and run my tests.
  
  * Both test harnesses integrate with a reporting database that I created using XAMPP (Apache, MySQL, PHP, XML, XSLT).
  * Test results are automatically posted to an internal Web server for live reporting and remote monitoring.
  
  * Created a system for both test harnesses where workstations could request automated regression jobs, spreading the load across multiple clients.
  
  Geek Stuff: C#, Eclipse, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Ant, XML, XSLT
