Includes test execution, test reporting, and results analysis and automation of build and test environments. Work with software compiler developers and assist in providing automated solutions for unit testing.
Test Operations: Use test suites to find, report and track compiler performance changes. Work with development team to drive regressions to resolution. Generate statistics based on performance data, identify and investigate outliers and monitor performance trends. Maintain historical data and baselines for comparison.
Compiler Test Development: Develop and review test plans, implement test cases, automate tests, integrate tests into NVIDIA test management frameworks, port 3rd party testing, and author test reports. May include integrating already existing tests into the compiler test automation.
