At Venetica, I was an intern on the QA team. Our task was to write, maintain, and execute all varieties of manual and automated test scripts. Automated testing, using JUnit, was used for testing the API layer of our software. We also had automation scripts for performance and scalability testing. Manual testing involved the web application and commandline examples that were distributed with the core software.
