To whom it may concern:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my interest in working for your company.  My work experience is focused in the fields of QA Engineering (software and firmware integration testing), automation scripting, backend software development, test porting, white box API unit testing, and the development of internal software applications  (The development of QA software/firmware testing tools).

My testing experience consists of developing software/firmware test plans, and software applications. I have developed automated tests that were written in C#, C++, Python, and C (also .bat files, and shell scripting). I have experience in testing RTOS firmware (Wind River VxWorks) in the MILS/seperation kernel area , TCF (Debug Agent), and OCD (ICE/JTAG) testing. At one of my assignments I developed a hardware/software GUI based testing tool that was interfaced with hardware, software and was used to provide an environment for testing firmware. My experience includes test automation scripting, process control programming/scripting, white box API unit testing, developing and maintaining metrics, general FMEA, CAPA, and Risk Analysis documentation, developing testing strategies from system schematics, executing tests over VMLogix LabManager, as well as developing test cases from requirement specifications. I have experience in the development of software/firmware QA testing tools, test porting,  as well as backend software development. I am familiar with the software testing release life cycle, running minimum acceptance testing (MAT), and acceptance/regression testing that are usually presented in five phases: (1)Alpha (2)Beta/EAR – Early Access Release (3)RC - Release Candidate, (4) RTM – Release To Manufacture and (5)GA  - General Availability. I have experience with both Windows and Linux environments.

My software experience consists in the development of internal, and external applications using (C# , C++, Python, embedded C (firmware), and Visual Basic (also .bat files, and shell scripting)). I also have experience in the development of backend software applications. I have worked with xml persistence/serialization programming, distributed applications (general TCP/ip sockets, USB, RS232), database-programming applications with ADO using C#. I have further experience with Nunit testing, white box API unit testing, process control programming/scripting, in the porting of tests, and software debugging. I have also worked with J1939 message frame parsing (I developed a basic J1939 data acquisition framework for one assignment).

My embedded applications (firmware) and hardware experience consists of writing/debugging embedded C programs for testing, porting of embedded tests, RTOS (Wind River vxWorks) testing in the MILS/seperation kernel area, ICE/JTAG (OCD) testing, TCF (Agent Debugger) testing, J1939 (messageframe  parsing), working with CAN bus systems, white box API unit testing, and conducting the physical analysis of microcontroller applications. I have worked with control/data acquisition systems, developed testing strategies from system schematics and requirement specifications, and the documentation of software/firmware application behavior. I have experience in the development of automated testing for hardware, firmware, and software system tools. I also have experience in distributed applications using general USB, RS232, and Ethernet TCP/ip sockets.

Thank you, for your time in reading this letter. I look forward to any questions that you may have.

Sincerely,

Mia Robinson
