    Encrypting Login Information

    Greetings, fellow testers. In yesterday's blog post, and the related video, I showed a test that entered a username and password as part of a login process. Hopefully you noticed something disturbing there — storing a password in plain-text and letting it be displayed for all to see. Though perhaps that's ok with non-production systems, it's still not normally something you'd want to do very often. Fortunately, there are a couple of properties we can set on the test step to control this. The first one to look at is IsPassword. Changing this to True will mask the ...

    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. ...

    Manual Testing - the Next Step

    Greetings, fellow testers. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Manual Testing using Test Studio. As I pointed out, brining your existing manual tests into Test Studio is a great way to get started, and provides a better platform for reporting results over time than simple spreadsheets normally do. Your next step might be to take advantage of Test Studio's automation to ease your way through actually performing the manual tests. You probably have many tests that begin with the same set of instructions - log on, navigate to a particular page, perhaps creating some data - before ...
