My Top 5 ways to reproduce a "Hard to Reproduce" Bug!
2007-05-10 06:42:00
What is a "Hard to Reproduce" Bug?Well, you might be more familiar with the term "Non Reproducible" bugs! But I prefer using the phrase "Hard to Reproduce" over "Non Reproducible". Because, I belong to the category of testers, who believe that every bug is reproducible and if something happened once it can happen again! It depends on how much time and effort you are ready to invest on the


How to Sell a Bug?
2007-05-04 13:51:00
Here I am not going to write a marketing article about how to sell a Bug (General term for any insect or similar creeping or crawling invertebrate)! So people who expected such an article please excuse me. Rather I am going to write something about a Software Bug. These are few ways in which people describe a Software Bug. 1. “A bug is a fault or defect in a system or machine” – Anonymous 2. “A


Bug in Yahoo Mail Beta!
2007-04-26 11:36:00
Once again I am back with yet another Bug! And this time the application is Yahoo ! Mail Beta. As the name suggests, this is still in Beta release phase.

2007-04-20 11:33:00

Testing AGLOCO!
2007-04-12 12:27:00
Today I received an email from a friend (who happens to be a software tester too!) asking me to join an Economic Network, which is supposed to revolutionize the whole Internet! As a software tester, I got skeptical about it and thought of giving it further investigation. And the result of my little research was unbelievable! Generally, I don’t give any attention to such so-called money making

Software Testing - From a Tester’s eye!
2007-04-08 20:51:00
Software testing is a field, full of false beliefs and misconceptions. You can find many misconceptions about software testing and tester as a whole. These misconceptions are predominant even among testers too. But situation becomes more dangerous when other stakeholders like the management and the client also get affected by these misconceptions. That can land a tester in serious trouble. I have

How important is regression testing?
2007-03-04 09:26:00
In a single sentence, Regression testing is the retesting of a previously tested program following modification to ensure that faults have not been introduced or uncovered as a result of the changes made. Regression testing helps to ensure that changes made to the software code do not break other previously working parts of the software. It is important to do regression testing frequently,

Testers don’t make Bugs. Oh Really?
2007-02-17 10:16:00
Bugs slip into production in spite of the best efforts of designers, coders, and testers. While testers may not be responsible for the introduction of bugs to the system, they bear some responsibility for the introduction of bugs to the user (I know many of my tester friends will be against this point). But testing can be adjusted to reduce the number of bugs that pass through to production –

Software Configuration Management (SCM) is an area, about which I had not written recently. So in a way, it was a long pending due, which had to be written. Recently I was asked by one of my blog readers, 'Veerendra', to write something about it and its role in Software Testing . So I thought of writing this article. Hope this helps...

Some Myths about Software Testing
2007-01-20 09:38:00
Testing is only reactive in nature. Testers have to have full domain expertise. Anybody can do testing. Automation should always be utilized. "Formal" methods are "too much" for our company. Testing always increases development costs. There is no need to bring testers in early. Exploratory testing is always ineffective. Adding more testers to a project will reduce testing time

Software Testing Principles
2007-01-20 09:34:00
A necessary part of a test case is a definition of the expected output or result. A programmer should avoid attempting to test his or her own program. A programming organization should not test its own programs. Thoroughly inspect the results of each test. Test cases must be written for invalid and unexpected, as well as valid and expected, input conditions. Examining a program to

Software Testing - Is it mere Constructive Destruction ?
2007-01-18 12:11:00
In October of 1999 the $125 million NASA Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft was believed to be lost in space due to a simple data conversion error. It was determined that spacecraft software used certain data in English units that should have been in metric units. Among other tasks, the orbiter was to serve as a communications relay for the Mars Polar Lander mission, which failed for unknown

Software Test Strategy For Time-Pressured Projects
2007-01-18 11:25:00
The proper testing of software takes a lot of work, and therefor a lot of time. While I don’t agree with this tactic, when projects get delayed, the time to test the system is one of the most likely candidates to take a hit when squeezing the schedule. "Two weeks delayed? We test two weeks shorter, and presto, back on schedule again." When facing a short time frame available for testing

The Importance of Software Testing Procedures
2007-01-18 11:06:00
Don’t be fooled into thinking that software testing procedures are a waste of time and effort. Documented procedures for testing software must be in place before testing begins. Lack of software testing procedures or using procedures that are not clearly and completely defined often results in time delays and cost overruns; two things software marketers cannot afford, especially when staying
