Changing Paradigms in Managing Distributed Testing Teams

orson lopez — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:38:18 +0100

Globalization and advancement in technology have brought about significant changes in the functioning of IT teams. Earlier a large percentage of IT teams were collocated, i.e. confined to the same zone, time, and culture. However, the necessity to gain traction in the international market forced companies to obliterate time, cultural and geographical differences. This led to the concept of ‘working together apart’ where teams, dispersed across the globe collaborated for a comm...

LoadRunner Virtual Users overview

ayon — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 09:36:16 +0100

LoadRunner is a tool, or more accurately a collection of tools, which facilitates in
performing load testing on a system. LoadRunner is used to create a load or stress on a system, and can be used to measure the responsiveness of the system to that load. The key concept behind LoadRunner is the use of virtual users, or vusers.

What is "Virtual Users"?

To perform a load test, a system needs many users to access the system concurrently, often one hundred or more. Perf...

Static Testing – An Effective Method Between Coding and Testing Phase

ayon — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 10:35:17 +0100

Static Testing – An Effective Method Between Coding and Testing Phase

Software testing connotes real-time execution of software beta versions. However, real testing already starts even in coding phase, when developers present their initial code for review. The system is being tested statically once the reviewer began to analyze the code, and ends until a satisfactory code has been successfully compiled. In actual practice, static testing purposes are as follows:

Ex...

Scenario Testing in Linking User Requirements and Software Behavior

Manas09 — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 09:16:58 +0100

“Scenario” is already used in the software industry since 1980s. However, it was first used by the United States in military planning in 1950s. In software development, scenarios are used in verifying suitability of a certain software application for its intended use through hypothetical stories.

Despite there is no procedural attempt to clearly establish software testing in a realistic environment, scenarios provide practical situations and user-oriented actions in val...
