Work Overview
Task1: Automation and Testing

The role of a software tester is integral in ensuring the quality, reliability, and
functionality of software applications. Here's an overview of my responsibilities
and tasks:

1. Understanding Requirements: collaborated with developers and

stakeholders to comprehend software requirements, features, and
functionalities.
2. Test Planning: developed test plans and strategies, outlining the
approach for testing, defining test cases, scenarios, and identifying the
testing environment.
3. Test Case Creation: designed test cases based on software requirements,
outlining steps to be executed for testing the functionality of the
application.
4. Execution: executed test cases manually or using automated testing
tools, examining the software's behaviour to identify defects, errors, or
deviations from expected results.
5. Defect Reporting: documented defects found during testing, providing
detailed reports with steps to reproduce issues and their impact on the
software.
6. Regression Testing: After resolving defects, performed regression
testing to ensure that new changes haven't affected existing
functionalities.
7. Automation: They utilize automation tools to create automated test
scripts, increasing testing efficiency for repetitive tasks.
8. Performance Testing: Testers may conduct performance, load, or stress
testing to ensure the application can handle expected volumes of users
and data.
9. Collaboration: They work closely with developers, product managers,
and other team members, communicating test results and progress while
coordinating efforts to deliver a high-quality product.
10. Continuous Improvement: Testers contribute to process improvement
by providing feedback on testing methodologies, tools, and best practices
to enhance the overall quality assurance process.
In summary, created 70+ test cases for 20+ REST APIs from scratch with
appropriate assertions providing E2E automation for Used Car Loan and
Personal Loan.

Work Overview
Task2: Android Architecture

The architecture followed for credit central team is MVVM architecture. Here's
a brief breakdown of the components in MVVM:

1. Model: Represents the data and business logic of the application. It

encapsulates the data and exposes methods to manipulate that data. The
Model doesn't directly communicate with the View.
2. View: Represents the user interface, what the user sees and interacts with.
It's responsible for displaying the data and capturing user input. In
MVVM, the View is more passive and doesn't contain the business logic.
It observes the ViewModel for updates and binds to its properties.
3. ViewModel: Acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View. It
exposes data and commands that the View can bind to. The ViewModel
retrieves data from the Model and prepares it for the View, often
transforming or formatting it. It also handles user actions, such as button
clicks, and updates the Model accordingly. The key aspect of the
ViewModel is that it doesn't have any direct reference to the View,
promoting separation of concerns.
4. Data Binding: A significant feature of MVVM is the use of data binding
to connect the View and ViewModel. It allows changes in one part of the
architecture to be automatically reflected in the other without explicit
communication.

Key elements of the UI in an Android app include:

5. Layouts: XML-based files that define the structure and arrangement of

UI components such as TextViews, EditTexts, Buttons, ImageViews, etc.
Layouts, like LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, ConstraintLayout, etc., are
used to organize these components on the screen.
6. Views and Widgets: These are UI components that display information
or interact with users. TextViews for displaying text, EditTexts for user
input, Buttons for triggering actions, ImageViews for displaying images,
etc.
7. Activities and Fragments: Activities represent individual screens or
windows in an Android app. Fragments are smaller, reusable portions of
the UI within an activity. They can be added, removed, or replaced within
an activity.
12 | P a g e

8. Resources: Android apps use various resources like strings, colors,

dimensions, styles, and themes to maintain consistency and flexibility in
the UI design.
9. Navigation: Android apps often have a navigation structure allowing
users to move between different screens or sections within the app. This
could be managed through navigation components,
BottomNavigationView, Navigation Drawer, etc.
10. Event Handling: It involves responding to user interactions, such as
button clicks, swipes, or taps, by writing event-handling code to perform
the necessary actions.

In UI of the application, added layout for description activity(UCL) storing all

valid information according to the requirement under the guidance of senior
developers. Also, learned about the overall flow of data from database to
display on screen.

CONCLUSION
During this internship, I was exposed to many new areas of how things actually
work in an enterprise and how the theoretical knowledge on some technology
stacks are practically employed in use for businesses around the world.
I was also able to work on my team working skills. Evey time a task was
allotted to me I had to first gain some insights of that particular domain and
later on implement it within some prescribed time frame, so the challenges were
the best motivator for our work throughout the journey.
I got to interact with working professionals all around the globe. My work was
praised by the senior managers, software developers as well as the technical
head of the department.
All in all, it was a thrilling and great learning experience to get some insights of
the corporate world and having worked for client projects have their lows and
highs eventually at different circumstances.
