    Audiocast on Developer + Tester Collaboration

    The Test Studio team is sponsoring EuroSTAR 2011 in Manchester, England from 21-24 November. Part of the run up to EuroSTAR includes a series of audiocasts from various people in the testing industry. I’ve got one episode in that series: “Devs + Testers == Awesome” [1] I talk for about ten minutes on something I’m particularly passionate about: tight collaboration between testers and developers. I’ve long believed (through practical hard knocks!) that closer collaboration gets our customers better software. You’ll have to register on the site to listen to the audiocast (sorry!), but I think it’s worth it!...

    Test Studio’s R2 Release: Simplifying the Complex

    Testing and software development are complex enough without your tools getting in the way. I’m particularly excited at how Test Studio’s R2 release kept a number of critical pieces of functionality crisp, clean, and simple while giving you great power to focus on essential portions of your quality program. Performance Testing: Focusing on Critical Information Perhaps the centerpiece of our R2 release is our new Performance Testing feature. You can now easily use any automated functional test to gather performance metrics on that specific slice of your application. You don’t need to change the test in any way, and you ...

    Using Test Oracles to Ensure Your Tests’ True Validity

    Raise your hand if something similar to this has ever happened to you: You write a functional test that uses your system’s UI to create a user. You automate navigating to the proper screen, you get all the right values filled in, the Submit button gets clicked, and you do a check for the “User created!” message. You run the test a couple times to make sure everything’s working smoothly. Things look good, so you check it in to source control, where it gets wrapped in to your regular automation runs. Shortly after a new bug gets filed stating newly ...

    Video of my Selenium Talk from Rocky Mountain Ruby Posted

    Back in late August/early September I spoke at the Rocky Mountain Ruby conference in Boulder, Colorado. My talk was about lessons learned dealing with large functional test suites over my career. For example, at a previous job I ran a team that got up to 9,000 Selenium tests scattered across roughly 850 test fixtures. I’ve had similar experiences working on other projects too. The talk was videotaped and is now up on the Confreaks video hosting site: Surviving Growing from Zero to 15,000 Selenium Tests. Yes, the talk’s title is wrong. I goofed when submitting it. The fundamentals I ...
