Summary

During in NETGEAR, I tested products including Router/Mesh/Extender, and test more than one hundred FW, so I have a good understanding in the products.

When setting up the Stress Test, I could encounter more user problems, so I was able to design related test case from the user's issue, it can make the product more stable.


During in PEGATRON, I tested products including Router/Video doorbell/IP cam. I had the opportunity to learn how to use such as SPRIRENT/Ixia/KEYSIGHT. It mainly tests such as WiFi Throughput, Multi-user, SU/MU-MIMO, 4G LTE/5G NR, etc.


During in SERCOM, I tested products including Router/Wireless Client Card/Sensor. I use automation tool-WinAutomation to create test case during this period. After making good use of them, I saved time in checking interfaces, basic connections and other test case. I also used the saved time to develop about 50 test items. In addition, I also served as a team leader to assign task to my member.


In the past few years of my career, from ODM factories to brand factories, I have learned what needs to be paid attention from the beginning to the delivery to customer.

In the future, I will continue to learn network-related knowledge. I also want to learn more about automated testing tools. I hope that I can move up a level in this industry.

Work History

Senior QA Engineer

Netgear
07.2021 - 02.2025

Test content:

(1) Router/Mesh/Extender function test

Wi-Fi connection, FW upgrade, Attached Device, DDNS, Port Forwarding/Trigger and other related functions.

(2) Setup Stress Test

The main purpose of stress testing is to simulate the user's habits to find issue. Many kinds of clients connect to the DUT via Wired/Wireless methods. In addition, during the process, it is necessary to capture and analyze packets in order to more accurately describe the BUG.

(3) App test

In addition to the user interface, there are also related tests such as blocking phishing websites and parental monitoring.

(4) Reproduce N user issue

Replicate the problem by user's report.

(5) Wi-Fi Throughtput test

Use Ixchariot to test Throughtput.

(6) Design tested case for products

Design new test case according to different environments or user habits.

Experience:

During NETGEAR, I tested products including Router/Mesh/Extender, and had experience in testing over a hundred FWs, so I have a good understanding of the products. In addition, when setting up the Stress Test, I was able to encounter more user problems and then design more related test cases to make the product more stable.

Software QA Engineer

Pegatron
06.2015 - 07.2021

Test content:

(1)Router/Video doorbell/IP cam function test

Wi-Fi connection, FW upgrade, Attached Device, Sensor Detect/Trigger, Day/Night and other related functions.

(2)5G NR/4G LTE throughput test

Measuring 4G LTE/5G NR performance with KEYSIGHT.

(3)SPIRENT/Ixia/Ixchariot throughput test

Use SPIRENT/Ixia/Ixchariot to measure Wi-Fi performance, MU-MIMO and multi-user connection and other related tested case.

(4)Create test case

Design relevant test cases from customer needs.

(5)Debug with RD and Customer

Replicate the problem and capture the relevant log.

Experience:

I was exposed to the testing of new products such as Video doorbell and IP cam, and also had the rare opportunity to learn how to use large-scale testing equipment such as SPRIRENT/Ixia/KEYSIGHT. The benefits were immense.

Software QA Engineer

SERCOM
05.2010 - 05.2015

Test content:

(1)Manage Test process

After discussing with the Project Leader, plan the test scope and assign test items to other members.

(2)Wireless client card/Router/Sensor function test

Wi-Fi connection, FW upgrade, Attached Device, Sensor Detect and other related functions.

(3)Wi-Fi throughput performance test

Testing Wi-Fi performance using Ixchariot.

(3)Auto tool-WinAutomation

Use the auto tool-WinAutomation to create test case.

(4)Edit tested case

Modify the test case to better.

(5)Debug with RD and customer

Replicate the problem and capture the relevant log.

Experience:

In addition to learning more product testing, I also got to know automation tools, which saved me at least one day of work time after making good use of them. In addition, after arranging tested case to my member, I was able to better understand the testing process and the cooperation between peers.

Intern

Netgear
