【Ken】Test Automation for Test analyst

Automation

When software tester does the steps of manual test cases used by automation tool is to reduce the time of testing life cycle.  Most of the test could be required to do lots of regression process and it could be overcome by using the automation tool.  And also automation tool is more reliable than human tester’s mistake. Test Analyst should well considered the test plan and manual test case into the automation process.

Save time with Automation

We now know that automation could help us to save the time of testing process, but we are wondering how it exactly working to reduce the test life cycle of the project. Automation may help tester to do consistent test execution than human does the manually. The Automation may process by data driven process with repeating action by reliable manner. It may use again the told test case easily. Tester shouldn’t need to do the entire step from the scratch because they find the some errors in the middle of the project.

Comparison of Automation life cycle and test case life cycle

Automation life cycle could work with manual test case driven life cycle.  However there are many things that considered before automation is being planned. What application that we are going to test is very critical. If It windows application or web application, then it will influence the factor of stability of AUT(Application unit test). Nobody wants to do the same things again and again. Automation could cut down the regression process.  There are many different app platform is available today. So, test analyst should well study the App platform that might be compatible to testing. Return of Investment is important reason to do automation testing. Many company that does the Cost benefit analysis, they are saving huge amount budget with perform well with automation testing with their products.

Situation that suitable to adopt the automation testing

If there is regression testing cycle and prepare the multiple release and build version. If you check the build version of window it has got lots of number of build. Some software and products requires many testing. If the application is very large and requires continues to care the bug fixes with test recently.

What QTP support for application and platform.

QTP initially support the windows application and web application (objects/ Application), Active X and Visual basic applications. However it also support Java,Net windows,  Web service etc depends on the status of the add –ins

Test Automation stages

First, Test analyst creates the test scripts. Seconds, Run the tests on automation tool. Third, Test analyst does analysing the test result from the automation tool report.

Software Testing Process with Automation Tool

Step one (Creating Tests), Test analyst create a test script with hand operating application on the AUT with automation tool.  Tool will generate the entire step that user create action and will display in tree view windows. Step two (Running Tests), Automation tool is running the record. Test analyst could identify and eliminated the bug in the test script. Third (Test report) Test analyst review the test result.

【Ken】QTP - Web: Simple Testing- Chrome

I recorded the web application with QTP.

It's really simple thing but it shows how to find the keyword View and Expert view of QTP.

And How to record and run the automated test.

Because I run the browser with Google Chrome so, System Util Run find the path of Chorme.

• Partition Magic
• EASEUS-Partition-Manager-Server

I would recommend those partition software.

Just be aware of that if someone have Server OS, it won't work for standard version.

For those who have Server version OS like server 2003, server 2008 needed the

Partition software for Server.

【Ken】Useful Free Screen Capture Software

I often capture the screen of computer for saving work image.

Many people are using default "Print Screen" on the keyword and paste it to the "MS paint" program to store or edit.

It's fine but it is really tidious job to do it when we caputure so many times.

I found that Freeware "ScreenHunter Free" is very useful and it work perfectly for capture screen and save it very easily.

Size: 11.03 MB

Price: Free

OS: Windows

It had rating as spectacular with 5 stars at CNET Editor's Rating.

【Ken】Enable to remove CTRL+ALT+DEL of Server 2003

When we are working on project with windows server 2003.

Sometime, Windows lock the screen after certain idle time.

We can use CTRL+ALT+DEL and insert password to access the window.

However, It is really annoying procedure for doing this many time.

It is not recommend for security reason, but it may useful for tester who required to read document alot and come back to screen.

Go to START MENU

RUN

Type "gpedit.msc".

Select USER CONFIGURATION --> ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES -->  SYSTEMS ---> Ctrl +ALT+ DEL options.

Change the PROPERTIES.

That's it.

System won't lock down after certain idle time.

【Ken】How to increase the VMware disk space?

Once you may installed the VMware with recommend size of disk space.

It could be 30 GB (example).

As user installed more program, the Disk space of the VM is going to reduce for sure.

How can we increase the size of the disk space.

1) VM setting --> Select the Disk space ---> expand

Is it fixed the problem? No..

2) Because VMware it self doesn't have partition change ability to expand the VM OS disk space

Easy way to fix the problem is download the 3rd party disk partition software and installed it.

changed the the VM OS disk size to allocated disk space.

It will fixed the disk space shortage of VM OS disks.

I had installed Android API list to the VM with 5 GB disk space. then it used up most of space as download the API through Internet. I do the above step to manage for increasing disk space from 5GB to 10 GB without problem.

【Ken】3D Design for business requirement

Essential of 3D Design is understanding of X,Y and Z axis.

3D designer read the business requirements that deliver from sales person who talk to with clients. All the products can be arranged as they planned. Checking of the draft is vital process of whole project, otherwise it will cause severe problem during the actual building job. 3D designer has to communicated with engineer to meet up with product capability that cope with design.

Look at the drawing in the below.

If the owner want the 5 beds room, 1 bathroom and 12 windows in the down stairs.

It's business requirement for this project.

Test case can be considered on each segment that meet up the measurement upon the size of component of product and actual size of house.

Business requirement

• Place master bed room with bathroom
• Pantry 2000mm for small bed room
• Double vowel for bathroom vanity
• Move in house bond cleaning service completed

Building Environment

• New Construction build by local builder
• 2 story Luxury residential house

Test Case

• Verify that measurement of vanity is 1200mm on bathroom
• Verify that master bed room is 3000x4000mm
• Verify that pantry size is 2000mm
