Experience

Full-stack Nanodegree Capstone Project

https://github.com/sahil1610/fsnd-capstone

This project is the capstone project for Udacity's full-stack developer nanodegree. We created a backend and a basic frontend to demonstrate what we have learned in the course. Created a REST API, accessed endpoints based on different roles (RBAC) using JWT authentication, wrote unit tests for REST API endpoints, and managed error handling.

Protractor Automation Framework

End-to-end UI automation framework using Protractor framework and TypeScript for VWO (https://app.vwo.com/) built on AngularJS. The tests run as a nightly build on a Selenium Grid Setup created using Docker Swarm.

Selenium Grid Setup Using Docker Swarm

Selenium Grid allows the execution of WebDriver scripts on remote machines—virtual or real—by routing commands sent by the client to remote browser instances. It aims to provide an easy way to run tests in parallel on multiple machines.

Docker Swarm is a container orchestration tool that allows users to manage multiple containers deployed across multiple host machines.

With Docker Swarm, it becomes easy to create a dynamic grid with high availability that can be scaled on the requirements needed.
