    Potential Project Killers – Part 2 – the Vague Budget

    In Part 1 of this five part series on potential project killers, I covered the concept of starting the project too fast.

The project must be fully planned and prepared for – which I guess might make ‘the planning’ the real work on the project.

    Data-Driven Tests - Logon and Setup Steps

    Greetings, fellow testers. Last week we talked about Data Driven Tests and how they can speed through dozens or hundreds of variations quickly for you. In the example I used a simple sample application, just a web page with a form. Often we need to log in and/or perform some setup steps before the actual "meat" of the test, or have some cleanup tasks after we're done — we certainly wouldn't want to do that for every iteration. That would be silly and time-wasting. Let's look at a better way. Here's our simple test, modified to use a login screen. ...
