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 [...]
On somewhat of an off-topic, I wanted to talk about working with Gmail. Half the world's civilization uses it, including myself, both at work and at home, but many of us don't get it right. Gmail is not just about a practically unlimited mailbox, a place to backup files by sending them to yourself. It's [...]
The big day is here. Testuff 1.0 has been released, ending the Testuff beta phase and moving Testuff into production! Yeeha! The beta program was extremely successful. Not only did we reach more than 1000 registered companies, but we learned a lot at an exponential curve. Be it about customer support, the development process, usability, [...]
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, [...]
Here's a great tip if you work a lot with the Windows Command Prompt aka cmd.exe. Wouldn't you just love it if you could easily copy-paste stuff in the Command Prompt window? Well, you can! Open the Windows Command Prompt via Start > Run > type cmd > OK. Right click it on the [...]
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 [...]
There seems to be some confusion about our company name. When I tell people that I work for Testuff, I always have to add in a pre-scripted bit to make it all clear. "It's 'Test' and 'Stuff' in one word", I emphasize and add some hand gestures to show what I mean. When I'm physically [...]
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 [...]
One of the songs by New Zealand's Flight of the Chonchords, which is by the way an amazing show that music and Borat fans must watch, is about how in the distant future, the year 2000, the humans are dead. Robots used poisonous gasses to poison our a$$es. Robotic beings rule the world and the [...]
