Rockstar Interview
IT Rockstar Rob collaborated on the public expressions and built in Sitecore. This included work on the Salesfunnel, which is the sign-up line for new policyholders. CZ.nl is the public content website of ‘CZ’ and ‘My CZ Business is where employers and intermediaries can manage their portfolios. In all cases the work involved maintenance and adding functionality. The main focus was on ‘Mijn CZ zakelijk’, where test automation was also implemented using selenium.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS PROJECT?
Because of the opportunity to get more in touch with different parts of Sitecore and also to get to know an organization like CZ. The working method here is of course slightly different from the SME companies where I worked before. These seemed like two great challenges to me.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF WITHIN THIS PROJECT?
Because in the development field, work lagged a bit, I was able to plunge into test automation. I am very proud that this has created a robust set of tests that is relatively easy to expand.
What techniques tooling did you use?
– C# 5, – Linq – Sitecore 7.2 – SQL Server 2012 – Jquery – Knockout – MVC – WCF – Selenium – TFS test manager – Hedgehog TDS
WHAT DID THE PROJECT DELIVER TO THE TARGET AUDIENCE/USER?
Different functionalities requested by the market, content I can’t say much about.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN IN THE PROJECT?
Increased knowledge of various Sitecore features such as personalization and analytics. Test automation through selenium.
WHAT MADE TEAM ROCKSTARS IT-WORTHY?
For me, the project was especially Rockstar-worthy because you end up with a large company where there are many different interests at play. You will also have to deal with a wide variety of teams and people from diverse backgrounds. From this accumulated experience, I was able to learn a lot.
