  • Developed an automated method to test a system model dialog that was once historically thought it could only manually testable. Created methods to automate user-interface components that were previously being test solely through manually interactive approaches.
  • For Visual FoxPro; created a means to implement a Junit concept (Funit) to imbed unit tests into the code as it is being developed.  These are used to run Unit Test to validate exist and new code during development. 
  • Create a general purpose (and expandable) to generate script for application build procedure, and schedule report print at designated times.  This also includes an Auto-Update for the client-side application, where when the application starts; it queries the host (HQ) for the latest version and downloads, updates, and configures the client side automatically.
  • A universal query engine to allow Visual FoxPro to access and query (SQL) many data lists and then output the results to other data lists (Query).
