When he found out what I did, I could tell he didn't like me in the least bit. He was young thought. Maybe someday he'll learn to like QA. I ran into an Aerospace engineer the other day at a party.

Direction using perl and data driven as file .txt

Thank you for your help.

You could also download the community version of TestMaker to data enable them with CSVs and also run them as load tests and production service monitors. http://www.pushtotest.com/seleniumtutorials Nice work.

Is there a priority to these tests? What if I have a limited amount of time, which ones should I do, and which ones could I safely skip?

]]> Comment on 5 Common Problems with Software Development Process and Solutions by George Nunez http://blog.qaevangelist.com/?p=183&cpage=1#comment-3691 George Nunez Fri, 07 May 2010 22:37:42 +0000 http://blog.qaevangelist.com/?p=183#comment-3691 An additional problem that I have found very common in software development is "Gold Plating", that is adding features or functionality that are not necessarily part of the requirement. I have seen this come from both developers and QA. The watch for "Gold Plating" has become more critical as companies move to an Agile framework. We tell our QAs to always ask, "Where is this feature captured in the requirement/story?". If it not, it needs to be removed. On the other hand, if they are writing a defect, they need to clearly point out where this functionality deviates from the captured requirement/story. Again, if they cannot, it is not a defect. Just because QA "thinks" it should be certain way, doesn't make it a defect. Of course, they could bring it up to the business to determine if it was missed, so it could become a defect against requirement. But, yes, "Gold Plating" is another item I would add to the list of "Common problems in Software Development."

Even though I've been using Selenium for over a year, these training sessions showed me additional methods I could use to test my applications more extensively.

I walked away with many new skills including some great Selenium tips and how to find quick and easy script help. I also improved my basic scripting skills. I'm definitely looking forward to the Performance Testing next month. I enjoyed the training very much.
