In one of my previous positions (we’re talking in decades…) I had a manager who really liked reports. He was all over us with requests for reports, most of them statistics about performance vs. goals but there were others as well. We had to create nice, fancy reports (charts and graphs), with many colors and [...]
Continuing the SaaS series after a short break, we've seen that folks are afraid of SaaS security. However, there are further concerns people have with SaaS. One of them is SaaS reliability. The concern may be expressed as follows: I'm worried about reliability. There might be outages and congestion accessing hosted services on the [...]
Last week I started a series of posts to examine why people are afraid of SaaS. So, let's dive in and examine one of the fears that I have seen come up all too often - fear of SaaS security. Someone who's afraid that SaaS isn't secure may make the following claim: I don't use [...]
When Testuff was established the founders discussed what would be the right model for it. SaaS (Software as a Service) was the lucky winner. The decision was made since we figure that small companies don't like and can't afford to keep lot's of servers around. They take up maintenance time, machines and IT guys [...]
Having done loads of bug validations for Testuff 1.1, I wanted to say something about them. Oddly enough Mike Kelly has just published a post about validations too. Bug validations can be considered quite a tedious task. Finding a bug is quite fun, a treasure hunt except you don't get the luxury of a [...]
Following my previous post about test videos where I asked why don't people record them, I opened several discussions at several QA communities across the web regarding the subject: Software Testing Club SQAForums LinkedIn Israeli QA Forum (in Hebrew) The people have spoken. All of the above discussions were great and yielded some powerful [...]
Testing videos are BIG. Jonathan Kohl says we need more testing videos for the sake of testing education. Pradeep Soundararajan records exploratory testing videos. Eric Jacobson is making bug movies with Windows Media Encoder. Adam White thinks no tester should be without a video recording tool. At a discussion in the Software Testing Club bug [...]
Even though I am ultra busy testing Testuff 1.0, that's coming out very very soon, I decided to take some time out and to conclude this crazy series of posts. We've seen why automated testing rocks. As I've stated before, it's more accurate, work faster, harder, for a longer period of time, for less money, [...]
The machines have made their move in the previous episode. To sum it up, they are more accurate, work faster, harder, for a longer period of time, for less money, with no complaints and no quitting. Sounds just about perfect doesn't it? But wait! It is time for the humans to fight back, to show [...]
Continuing where the previous introductory post left off, we continue to discuss the epic battle between the ruthless testing automation machines and the brave manual testing of the human QA army. To make it fair on both sides and let them wage their battles, let's see what makes each of them so great and vice [...]
