When Users Collide

Friday May 4th 2012 6am 2 2 Comments ST&QA Magazine
Most robust applications, whether desktop- or Web-based, allow multiple users to log into the system and perform tasks concurrently. Many test plans account for the users’ individual actions or the users’ massed actions (in the case of performance tests).

Trouble Tickets Are Your Business

Friday January 6th 2012 9am 0 0 Comments ST&QA Magazine
When your team sits down at a project kickoff, look around the table and see who determines your software’s purposes and workflows.

The Limitations of Automated LinkCheckers

Thursday May 19th 2011 12am 1 1 Comment Automation Web User
If you’re planning to test a content-rich website that includes numerous pages, images, and links between them, you might consider using an automated link checking tool. An automated link checker, such as Xenu LinkSleuth or Fast Link Checker, spiders your website starting, typically, from the home page and follows all links on your website to ensure that they return something other than web errors.

The link checker then provides a report that includes the names of pages, the links on the pages, whether the link successfully resolved, and perhaps more robust reporting options and details.
