For example, you’ll find the typical testing tool vendor website provides a section on “Technologies Supported” and one vendor’s tool strength will be in the windows desktop market, while another’s might be in the browser market or in a combination of markets, but none will support all technology markets.Fri, 26 Apr 2013 07:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5818/Configuration-Testing-on-Mobile-Devices/Testing-Mobilehttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5818/Configuration-Testing-on-Mobile-Devices/Testing-Mobileyagsyjah@gmail.comTestingMobileMobile software applications are becoming more prevalent in our daily lives A recent study published by Andrea Smith on Mashable highlighted just how much we as a society are addicted to our mobile applications, going so far as to say “Some people confess to using over 50 apps a day.” We see them everywhere, waiting in line, walking down the street, or even attending a sporting event. In fact, 82% of the respondents, people believed they couldn’t be without their mobile applications for longer than one day and if this sample reflected society, then these mobile applications need to work correctly, consistently as well as meet user needs.

Getting a product out the door that works is not enough. Rather, the entire experience needs to be integrated and mapped out as multiple devices create a combined product experience not only in the moment of usage, but over time. Applications must be crafted toward a particular device but keeping in mind consistency across all other compatible and complementary devices for a total integrated and consistent experience.

To help avoid missing our deadlines we have prepared these Test Estimation guidelines. In this article I present the various Test estimation techniques which will help us in proper execution of the Testing projects.

If you're like me, the hair on the back of my neck stands up and I start to break out in an angry sweat whenever I hear an engineer say that. Seriously, where do these guys get the idea that they can cut testing from the budget and then borrow the excuse after they fail that: "No, it's a good thing – now we can learn and get it right moving forward!" The individuals who state such things must have no clue about how software testers work and think. They have no idea how good we are at intentionally causing failures – proactively failing forward. Learn two tips on how to understand this "failure fad" and how to translate your work as a software tester into being a "failure expert".Fri, 14 Dec 2012 00:00:00 -0700http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5740/Stop-the-Life-Cycle-I-want-to-get-off/Agile-Software-Testing-Processhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5740/Stop-the-Life-Cycle-I-want-to-get-off/Agile-Software-Testing-Processmatt.heusser@gmail.comAgileSoftwareTestingProcessWhere Matt talks about the Software Development lifecycle ... or lack thereof.Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:39:53 -0700http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5736/The-Divide-Between-Agile-Testing-and-Others/Agile-Testing-Test-and-QAhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5736/The-Divide-Between-Agile-Testing-and-Others/Agile-Testing-Test-and-QAmatt.heusser@gmail.comAgileTestingTest and QAWhere Matt talks about the communications gap between Agile and, well, everybody elseMon, 26 Nov 2012 10:07:28 -0700http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5706/The-Case-for-Quick-Attacks/Testinghttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5706/The-Case-for-Quick-Attacks/Testingandy@tinkham.orgTestingQuick attacks are test techniques in which the tester doesn't have to spend a lot of time preparing for, planning, or executing the test. Instead, the tester can sit down with an application (even one they’ve never seen before!) and very quickly start finding important bugs.Fri, 16 Nov 2012 07:00:00 -0700
