what is POC(proof of concept) testing?

POC is nothing but a prototype of the project
which the team develops to show the customer how they will build the
project and upto some extent the look and feel factor of the same.


It is generally used to instill confidence in the customer that the team will be able to pull off the project successfully.


Usually a POC consists of few important functionalities and can be
tested as any other functionaluty needs to be. So just go through the
requirement docs and see what this POC does. Make a short test plan and
test the POC.

How is testing affected by object-oriented designs?

Well-engineered object-oriented design can make it easier to trace from
code to internal design to functional design to requirements. While
there will be little affect on black box testing (where an
understanding of the internal design of the application is
unnecessary), white-box testing can be oriented to the application's
objects. If the application was well-designed this can simplify test
design.

Why to have Programming Statements in Tests in QTP?

We add steps, which contain programming logic to the recorded
framework just to increase the power and flexibility of the testing
process.


Programming statements usually contain:


1) Recordable test object methods: These are operations that a user can perform on an application.


2) Non-recordable test object methods: These are operations that
users cannot perform on an application. We use these methods to
retrieve or set information, or to perform operations triggered by an
event.


3) Run-time methods of the object being tested.


4) Various VBScript programming commands that affect the way the
test runs, such as conditions and loops. These are often used to
control the logical flow of a test.


5) Supplemental statements, such as comments, to make our test
easier to read, and messages that appear in the test results, to alert
us to a specified condition.

Windows Internet Explorer 8: Home page

From IE 8 Site itself.Not having time these days to type so had to copy paste sorry folks...


Get Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, the latest version of Microsoft's free web browser.

Tired of cutting and pasting information from one website
to another for everyday tasks? Now there's a better way. Accelerators
give you ready access to the online services you use everyday—from any
page you visit. Now you can simply select some text and then click on
the blue Accelerators icon.
For example, you may be interested in the location of a business
featured on a webpage. In the past, you would need to copy the address
from the webpage, navigate to another the webpage for a mapping
service, and paste in the address. With the "Map with Live Maps"
Accelerator in Internet Explorer 8, you can get an in-place view of a
map displayed directly on the page.

Looking for information on an older version of Microsoft Internet Explorer?

Principles of Testing - Separate Testers and Developers

Testers and Developers should be different people.Why???(this is from Utest community)


This may be one of the more controversial and difficult principles
of testing, but it’s also one of the most important.  Quite simply, the
same group of people should not do both your development and testing.


Now let’s be clear: this is not to say that developers shouldn’t do
testing.  They should, and they should be highly involved with any
testing process.  What this principle says is that developers should
not be the only people doing the testing and that there should also be
separate testers as well.  To know the, few reasons why? Click here...

Has Google Changed the Meaning of “Beta?”

Hi,
      This piece of information about the beta products google has and what is the percentage of them are beta? This is also from a blog in Utest.com.
      A recent study has shown that 49% of Google’s products are in beta.  That’s incredible, especially considering that these products include Gmail, Google Docs, and more.  So what does beta really mean to Google?  NetworkWorld asked them and found out:
      “We have very high internal metrics our consumer products have to meet before coming out of beta. Our teams continue to work to improve these products and provide users with an even better experience.  We believe beta has a different meaning when applied to applications on the Web, where people expect continual improvements in a product.  On the Web, you don’t have to wait for the next version to be on the shelf or an update to become available.  Improvements are rolled out as they’re developed.  Rather than the packaged, stagnant software of decades past, we’re moving to a world of regular updates and constant feature refinement where applications live in the cloud.”
        The problem with this philosophy is that customers may not stick around long enough for a product to take off.  If it doesn’t do what they expect upon launch, then they will abandon the platform until it meets their expectations.  In many cases, they may not come back at all.

When to Stop Testing: The Customer’s View

Hi,
          This is a great information shared by a customer on Utest community. I have taken few words from him to share with you and also added the link at the end for your reference.
          On our forum, there’s a discussion about when to stop testing software - when enough testing is enough.  There are a lot of good answers in the discussion, but one that I wanted to highlight is the voice of the customer.

         The customer expects certain things from their software.  A consumer may not care if the software crashes once in a while, but a business may expect greater reliability.  It doesn’t matter if a game displays a single pixel in the wrong color, but it does matter if every time the player opens a treasure box the entire screen turns purple. To know about the customer needs, you have to click on this link...
