As a fan of incremental/iterative methods, I like the idea of test automation.

Is the Elimination of Testers Next?

Tuesday October 12th 2010 1pm Rated -3 12 Comments Testing Software
A “secret” program is being pursued by Google to develop a car that drives by itself with no human interaction (http://www.cnbc.com/id/39594637). I found it very intriguing but I started thinking about what other “secret” programs are going on out there that may someday jeopardize other things we as human beings do?

Security Testing – Web App – Some Tips For Newbies

Tuesday July 5th 2011 11am Rated 15 9 Comments Security Testing Web
If you’re interested in security testing web applications, these tips will help a non-security tester to consider some techniques to get started. The world of security testing is perhaps the most important, yet it’s often the most neglected aspect to testing. A lack of security testing opens an organization to business risks and could have severe implications to the financial future of a company. If you haven’t made security testing part of your repertoire, consider integrating it today into your regular test suite.

This article is a testimonial to learning by association, in which I will talk about a core Total Quality Management concept called touch-time, how it associates with software testing, and how can it help form a unique perspective to approach testing.

Golden Rules of Testing

Tuesday May 10th 2011 11am Rated 48 8 Comments Agile Testing Process Management Automation Acceptance Integration
I've put together what I think are the golden rules of testing that still apply. So when someone says "that's not how we do it in Agile" (and believe me - they will) don't take none of it and stick with the basics.

Automation Testing versus Manual Testing Guidelines

Tuesday October 26th 2010 11am Rated 22 8 Comments Automation Test and QA Testing
I met with my team’s automation experts a few weeks back to get their input on when to automate and when to manually test. The general rule of thumb has always been to use common sense. If you’re only going to run the test one or two times or the test is really expensive to automation, it is most likely a manual test. But then again, what good is saying “use common sense” when you need to come up with deterministic set of guidelines on how and when to automate?

Exploring Exploratory Testing

Tuesday May 8th 2012 11am Rated 21 8 Comments Exploratory Testing
Exploratory testing can be termed: the freedom of the tester’s passion to appreciate the software. Most of the script-based testing is observed to work under some commonly followed work procedures. But under some of the varying demands of the customer requirements, the application may also be used under different work flows.

The Testing Industry's Automated Testing Tool Conundrum – and the Proposed Solution

Friday April 26th 7am Rated 9 8 Comments Automation Testing
Most currently available automated software testing tools are platform-, technology- and/or operating system dependent. 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.

Quality, Not Testing

Monday June 7th 2010 6am Rated 9 8 Comments Quality Assurance Test and QA Testing
May 24, 2010 When I am asked to review projects, one of the things that I ask to see is the quality plan. Almost always I am handed a test plan, and usually the project manager is very proud of the fact that they have a well-documented test plan. There seems to be a common belief that you can test quality into a project--or perhaps worse, that testing is the same as quality.
